Loop Cowboy is the musical alias of multi-instrumentalist Ben Watling.

Classically trained on trombone, Ben’s musical journey has moved through jazz, world music and into the realm of live looping and electronic sound, shaping a performance style that is both refined and unpredictable.

Working with guitar, bass, synths, vocals and more, he builds immersive, multi-layered sets entirely in real time. The result is a rich, evolving sound that feels closer to a full studio production than a solo act.

Part groove outlaw, part sonic craftsman, Loop Cowboy moves effortlessly from laid-back apèro atmospheres to high-energy late-night parties. Always reading the room and shaping the music to the moment.

Drawing on a diverse musical background and a constantly evolving toolkit of instruments, each performance is shaped in the moment, creating something live and unique for every audience, every space and every occasion.
