Ben Mauro with Britney Spears Takes Hamer Monaco On Tour
May 14, 2004
Guitarist Ben Mauro with his new Hamer Monaco
While in production rehearsals for Britneyís World Tour, guitarist Ben Mauro called on Kaman Music to check out one of Hamerís Bigsby-equipped guitars for onstage use.
A stock MON-RTC Monaco was delivered, and Ben was floored by the guitarís tones and out-of-the-box playability. Ben has been playing the Hamer across the globe ever since The Onyx Hotel Tour kicked-off.
Prior to landing the gig with Britney, Ben was steadily performing with Oscar and Grammy Award winning pop icon Lionel Richie since Sept. 1999. Ben had also completed a US tour supporting guitar legend Peter Frampton, as the Musical Director in a rock group produced by Frampton himself.
Ben is originally from Syracuse, NY and spent ten years living and performing in New York City. He currently resides in Los Angeles, CA.
