It’s been a busy summer for Ben. His self-titled debut CD has continued to receive rave reviews. A digital-only EP titled More Ben Hall! was released on July 7th. Ben was once again a part of the Chet Atkins Appreciation Society Convention held each year in Nashville. He played on the hugely poplar show Music City Roots along with other guitar greats like Bryan Sutton, Guthrie Trapp, and Viktor Krauss. Then came the highlight of the summer when Ben played at the VIP reception for new exhibit Chet Atkins: Certified Guitar Player at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. The list of guitar player in attendance reads like a who’s who including Steve Wariner, Earl Klugh, Reggie Young, Duane Eddy, James Burton, Scotty Moore, Paul Yandell, Mark Pricther Larry Carlton, Eddie Pennington, Harold Bradley, Wayne Moss, Norbert Putnam, Jack Pearson, Ray Edington, and many more. We have added some new tour dates and more will be added as Fall draws near. Thanks to all for your support and for helping Ben keep the tradition of thumbstyle guitar alive and well.
