Riddle Rock by Ben Varian

4 songs written & recorded in the corner of a former Pilates studio in South Pasadena CA, 2020-2021.
Formed from fragments, dreams, jokes, and a lil bit of ancient Hebrew prophecy, these were the strange little critters that managed to sneak thru during a long period of writer’s block.


Jonny Kosmo - lead vocals on “The Band Shell” and backing vocals on “Pilgrim’s Recipe”
Zach Burba - lead vocals on “Pilgrim’s Recipe”
Marina Allen - lead vocals on “Reverie” and “Music”

Backing vocals on "Pilgrim's Recipe" and "Music" by Allyson Pierce

Only one musical guest and that is the legendary Logan Hone playing the soprano sax on the choruses of “Reverie”
