Let's make this birthday one to remember.

57 years old (Born on September 20, 1968)

Happy birthday, Ben Shepherd! May your special day unfold with the grace of a well-plucked bass line—solid, groovy, and perfectly in sync. From driving fans wild alongside Soundgarden to bringing iconic hits like "Black Hole Sun" and "Rusty Cage," you've rocked stages worldwide while helping define an entire musical generation.

On this fine day, may you party harder than that epic riff during a sold-out Seattle gig. Just remember: birthdays come around yearly—but legendary bassists only grow cooler over decades. Cheers to another year filled with thunderous beats, laughter louder than amps on full volume, and plenty more sound-filled gardens ahead!
