Ben Grillet is a road-tested singer, guitarist, and songwriter rooted in traditional country and Red Dirt / Texas country. A lifelong working musician, he has spent years earning his reputation the old-fashioned way — one stage, one town, and one crowd at a time.

     Over the years, Ben has shared stages with nationally touring artists across the traditional country and Red Dirt circuit while building a reputation as a road-tested performer who knows how to work a room and keep a crowd engaged.

     For years, Ben was a featured and regular entertainer at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Sioux City, where his shows consistently drew packed crowds and multiple sold-out rooms. Known for commanding the stage whether opening for national acts or headlining his own shows, his performances blend grit, humor, and heartfelt storytelling.

     Built from miles of highway, honky-tonks, casinos, and dancehalls, Ben Grillet’s music carries the spirit of traditional country and the independence of the Red Dirt scene — honest songs played loud and meant for a live crowd. After time away from the grind to reset and recharge, Ben returned to the road sober, focused, and playing the strongest shows of his career.
