Benjamin Tod | “The Paper & The Ink“ | Western AF

Western AF Presents Benjamin Tod | “The Paper & The Ink“ Benjamin Tod, singer-songwriter, lead member of the Lost Dog Street Band gives us another tune for Western AF. A gloomy and heartbreaking tale about a song he’d swore he’d never sing. Ben brought with him what he said was his biggest inspiration as an artist. A journal that was owned by his train-hopping buddy and best friend, Nicholas Ridout. A couple of passages were made and unfortunately if would never be completely filled. After Nicholas passed, Ben was gifted the journal by his widow and since then, Ben has continued to fill the pages. The art through pain quote is relevant in this. If not a pillaring example of how we process grief through grief. It’s an opus to loss and a kick to the soul. Just pure honesty. This song will be released this fall along with his new solo record. A test press of that record will be raffled off at the @muhlenbergmusicmission fundraiser May 28th at @thebarddistillery in Graham, KY. There will be a lineup of Kentucky favorites including @thelocalhoneys @justinwellsmusic @loganhalsteadmusic & @lostdogstreetband of course. Tickets available now!
