Ben Rudnick and Friends play upbeat, bluegrassy music for kids of all ages, including parents and grandparents. Drawing on the original and traditional material from their current and forthcoming 'Emily Songs' children’s recordings, as well as performing songs learned from their parents and grandparents as kids, an environment is created where everyone smiles! Kids to grandparents sing along with old songs as well as the 'Emily Songs' they're hearing for the first (or 500th for some of the 'Emily Songs') time.

An acoustic, bluegrass-flavored affair, performances tend to be a slice of time where families can relax, enjoying the music and each other. Dancing shoes are optional.

The band consists of Ben Rudnick on guitar and vocals, John Zevos on mandolin and vocals, Arnie Ashford on bass and vocals, and Jared Steer on a rainbow of percussion.
Sophisticated melodies, precise instrumentation and witty lyrics that delight the entire family.'
- Buzz McClain, Washington Post

'Ben Rudnick has a conversational singing style that's instantly engaging,an ear for an infectious tune (and beat), and an affinity for fun-to-sing lyrics.' - Moira McCormick, Disney's Family Fun Magazine

'Not only did the kids love the show, but the parents and the grandparents were singing
and dancing as well.' - Laura Murphy, Club Passim
