Well...we made it.

     After a cross-country move from Iowa, a “couple thousand miles and a few more days” in the RV, and a memorable stop in Idaho that turned one show into three, we're officially calling Washington home.

     The Idaho trip brought performances at Wendell Dairy Days, West Point Watering Hole, and a late-night set at Outlaws & Angels in Bliss. Not a bad way to kick off the next chapter.

     Now it's time to get acquainted with the Pacific Northwest. We'll be at The SandBAR in Browns Point on July 1 (7–9 PM), Rhubarb in Sumner on July 25 (7–9 PM), and then heading to Granite Falls for the annual Foal Fest '26 on August 1.

     If you're nearby, come say hello, request a song, or just stop in for a cold drink and some country music. We're looking forward to meeting a whole lot of new folks out here.

     Sometimes the best part of the journey is finally taking the time to enjoy it.

The Road to Tacoma Runs Through Idaho

          Before making the move to Tacoma, Washington later this summer, Ben will be making a pair of Idaho appearances at Wendell Dairy Days on June 19 and The West Point Watering Hole on June 20. It's exciting to already be hearing from venues throughout the Pacific Northwest as new opportunities begin to take shape, and we are looking forward to what the next chapter holds.

     That said, his roots are still right here in the Midwest. The stages, venues, and people across this region have supported me for many years, and he's extremely grateful for every mile, every handshake, and every song shared along the way. Thank you.

     If you've been meaning to catch a show, now's a good time. With the move approaching, these will be some of Ben's final gigs in the Midwest before heading west.

     Hope to see you down the road.

The Road Keeps Moving

     After a busy spring spent moonlighting with the side project The Long Hard Ride, it’s time to shift gears and bring the focus back home.

     The past few months have been a hell of a run — great shows, long miles, good people, and a chance to stretch out musically in a different lane. We’re grateful for every stop along the way and everybody who came out to support us.

     As early summer rolls in, I’ll also be making my way west toward the coast — a new chapter personally and creatively, with plenty of road still ahead.

     We’re excited to announce Ben will be appearing at the Wendell Dairy Days 2026 in Wendell Idaho this summer, and he's already back in the writing room working on new material. New songs, new direction, same heart behind it all.

     The next chapter starts now.

     Stay tuned — there’s more coming.

Back on the road - Recharged and Better Than Ever

     Since mid-2025, Ben has been traveling the Southeast and Gulf Coast, playing shows across Alabama and reconnecting with life on the road. Between stops, he spent meaningful time with his family exploring Florida, Georgia, Arkansas, Mississippi, and beyond - taking a step back to reset, refocus, and recharge.

     Now, sober and sharper than ever, Ben returns to the stage with renewed energy, clearer purpose, and the strongest performances of his career. The Road is calling again, and the next chapter is sounding better than ever.
