Multi-instrumentalist, recording artist and alternative singer-songwriter, Ben Myers, has been prolific at writing his unique brand of introspective songs for the better part of two decades. His sound spans multiple genres, focusing primarily on rock, while always maintaining a strong sense of pop melody. His style has drawn comparisons to indie troubadour <a href="spotify:artist:2ApaG60P4r0yhBoDCGD8YG" data-name="Elliott Smith">Elliott Smith</a>, ethereal soft-rocker <a href="spotify:artist:3nnQpaTvKb5jCQabZefACI" data-name="Jeff Buckley">Jeff Buckley</a>, and even more recently the artsy Beatle, <a href="spotify:artist:4x1nvY2FN8jxqAFA0DA02H" data-name="John Lennon">John Lennon</a>.
Ben began his alternative singer-songwriter journey in the sunflower state of Kansas as the twin towers fell. With an ear for the melancholic sounds of the alternative 80's and 90's, the artistry of <a href="spotify:artist:3WrFJ7ztbogyGnTHbHJFl2" data-name="The Beatles">The Beatles</a>, and the re-emerging rock scene of the early 00's, Ben forged his first self-produced album at the formidable age of 25 with no formal music training. The themes of power, control and nihilism seemed to fuse in tandem with the lovelorn sentiments he was feeling. The world was isolated. Ben was isolated.
The next couple of years saw an explosion of creativity for this young college dropout. Armed with his newly outfitted home recording studio and an obsession with all things songwriting, Ben penned and produced six more albums. The new social-media site MySpace allowed for new connections and Ben got pulled from the shadows by well-known local Lawrence, Kansas rocker veteran <a href="spotify:artist:2VClRDJzSEBRnZzD4DRy0b" data-name="Lonnie Fisher">Lonnie Fisher</a>. He soon began making appearances on stage and performing at house parties.
