"An astonishingly mature debut from a nascent star. Major labels should be queuing round the block" Rock 'n' Reel Magazine

***BEN STEVENSON***
Raised on the classic rock of Led Zeppelin, Queen, Pink Floyd and Lynyrd Skynyrd then later discovering Leonard Cohen, Jeff Buckley and English folk guitarists, Ben's music is open to influence from anywhere. As a sideman he has played in a variety of bands ranging from heavy rock to ska-punk and funk before settling with his passion for song writing. From his earliest bands Ben has always sought to develop his song writing skills. His sound features stripped down acoustic guitar with a laid back yet powerful voice singing honest narrative reflections.
He writes about whatever is on his mind, from his Grandfather's experiences in the mines, inherited features, love for his fiance, his admiration of Jaco Pastorius, the war, the weather and much more. With a voice capable of going from a whisper to a scream in the blink of an eye and subtle guitar playing to coax the listener in, Ben is fast gaining a reputation on the Sheffield folk scene for his captivating performances.
