Ben Nolte

Setting the Perfect Tone for Your Event

Welcome to Whistle and Fish, where music transforms moments into memories. We specialize in providing elegant and engaging background music for social gatherings, benefit auctions, corporate events, and more. Our performances create a warm, inviting atmosphere, setting the stage for meaningful connections and successful events.

Ben Nolte (@whistle.and.fish) is a multi-genre folk, country, rock, heart & soul performer and instrumentalist accentuated by his baritone ukulele, harmonica and pitch-perfect whistle (ranked #20 worldwide at the 2024 Global Whistling Championship). He sings in English, Portuguese and Spanish. He just finished writing the songs: "It's Your Heart that Draws Me In," "Te Amo," "A Boy Back Then" and "Goin' Fishin' with You." His core belief is to find and play the right song for the right person at the right time. The result is meaningful, impactful and unforgettable. He plays to create hope; plays to cheer; plays to heal; plays to love; plays to be forgiven; plays to open doors; plays to connect our past; and plays with purpose.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are our most commonly asked questions:

What types of music do you play?

I specialize in acoustic ambient crowd pleasing favorites in multiple genres including pop, folk, country, rock, gospel and soul.

Do you provide your own equipment?

Yes, if needed, I have an array of mics, PAs, mixers and amps to support it improve the quality of music.

Can you learn specific songs upon request?

I know hundreds of popular songs that can be requested on my song request form. If you request a song I don't know, I can typically learn it with advance notice. Also, if I know a song, but it's not on my playlist, I can play a lot of songs by ear.

How far in advance should I book your services?

Ideally book 6-8 weeks in advance, but if I am available on a day with short notice, I will do my best to accommodate. During holidays, I recommend you book 3 or 4 months out.
