Beneficial Tomatoes


Beneficial Tomatoes is an American rock band, formed in Pleasantville, NY in 2004. The band consists of Ben Scherer (guitar/vocals), Tom Lombardi (guitar/vocals), Tim Sosler (drums), and Sam Mintzer (bass). 

The band originated as a two-piece musical project between founding members/multi-instrumentalists Ben Scherer and Tom Lombardi. To complete their sound, they recruited high school friends Tim Sosler (2009) and Sam Mintzer (2010). They began to play local shows as well as venues in New York City and neighboring northeast states. The band has been said to blend indie rock with elements of alternative, pop, and various other genres in which their music is influenced. 

In 2010, they performed at the annual Pleasantville Music Festival alongside such notable artists as Jakob Dylan, Rusted Root, The Bacon Brothers, and Carney. Currently, they are writing and recording in hopes of releasing a full-length LP in the near future.
