ABOUT THE SHOW
Host Benjamin Blue Abben has been a local entertainer around our valley for over 10 years, performing standup comedy, and playing in several music projects.
A Southern Oregon native, Ben also spent several years in California and worked as a chef in Orange County, so he knows his good food. He moved back 15 years ago and is happy to call the Rogue Valley home once again. With the recent local affects of wildfires and the pandemic, Ben wanted to do something to help the small businesses who are working so hard to survive. In between cooking, playing music, and telling you a joke, Ben hosts Rogue Eats, Drinks and Lifestyle Show.

Relatively new to the Rogue Valley, filmmaker Darren Field hails from Puyallup, Washington. With over 17 years of experience in video production, Darren has worked with businesses of all sizes, including corporate giants such as Starbucks Entertainment, the Seattle Seahawks, Discovery Channel, Food Network, and Red Robin. His remarkable storytelling ability and commitment to high production value shine through in every episode he creates.
In addition to producing business-focused content, Darren films luxury weddings along the West Coast and in Hawaii, bringing the same level of artistry and attention to detail to each project.
Darren understands that developing a marketing strategy can feel overwhelming, especially with the constant changes in social media platforms, algorithms, and trends. Recognizing this, he envisioned the Rogue Eats, Drinks & Lifestyle Show as a high-quality production that simplifies marketing for local businesses. The show provides an effective platform to showcase and promote businesses in an engaging and professional way.
