Ball and Chain are Michael Ball on fiddle and Jody Benjamin on guitar.
Michael and Jody have been making frequent trips to Louisiana since 1997 and the music from Southwest Louisiana and its cultural context continues to fascinate them. Jody Benjamin's singing style is an easy marriage of sincerity and humour that comes from her wit and her love of the old country and cajun music she sings. Micheal Ball has a sweet tone to his fiddle playing and an ear for melody and space seldom heard from players who were born after 1920. Together these experienced performers make a sound fuller than you'd expect from only two musicians.
