Message From Ben, The Songwriter:
I just want to write good songs. That's it. I am not thrilled with being on stage although I have done plenty of performing. I don't need to sell my music to make money, because I have worked my ass off in business to get to a place where I have about enough to sustain my family. My reward is writing a song I love; one that conjures emotion or nostalgia. I enjoy feedback, but I'm really not interested in anything other than writing the best songs I can write. Many of my songs are like children-- very personal. I love them in a deep way.

The world seems like a dark and decaying place to me, but I try to write about events, emotions or experiences that at least portray a little hope, or joy, for myself and anyone who cares to listen. 

I love fly-fishing and hunting. I enjoy all types of guns and guitars. I drive a truck. Like all good farm boys, I carry a pocket knife. I love all types of music, but relate most to the songs and writers that come from a similar place as me: the country.
