Ben Hutcheson - Album Launch Show + HUSHWING & George Wilding

Ben Hutcheson

An emerging Country Rock artist from South West England.

Ben is the new generation of the recent pedigree of fresh English singer/songwriters. Critiqued as bridging the storytelling gap between the likes of Passenger, Ed Sheeran and Scotty McCreery.

Realising his passion for writing & performing by releasing his first and second EP unaided, Ben set out to have his voice heard. His songs have clarity beyond his years. Born in Bristol, South West England, Ben followed his own ear for song writing & developed a style that enhances the emerging British Country scene. Taking influence from many artists and trying to break the curve of the standard singer/songwriter.

With his self titled debut album being predicted for big things due out July 28th and having played all over the UK with acts such as Scouting For Girls, Fun Lovin' Criminals, Van Morrison, Toploader, Natalie Imbruglia and many more incredible acts. Ben is ready to make a statement and let his voice be heard.

“Ben Hutcheson, a young singer/songwriter with a wisdom beyond his years.

His lyrics tackle universal themes such as love and loss, yet also weave captivating stories, with a contemporary feel. With a warm, rich voice he expresses emotion and authenticity and makes a genuine connection with his audience.”

- Julianne Regan (All About Eve)

"Ben Hutcheson’s dark husky growl sings of a world of intimacy and observation. Love, lust and tenderness, haunted dancehalls and broken promises - Ben’s world is weary though alive due to delicacy and romance. From Portishead to Nashville this is music for lovers, vagrants and thieves."

- Davey Ray Moore (CousteauX)

"An Incredible voice" - Roy Stride (Scouting for Girls)

+ HUSHWING
"With delicately crafted fusions of alt-indie
embracing acoustic folk, HUSHWING will carry you upon a road trip around their relationship, liberating you to belt out their lyrics. This songwriting duo has torn pages from Jon Bellion's visionary production, Bon Iver's lyrical wisdom and the warmth of Eva
Cassidy's melodies."

+ George Wilding
"George Wilding is an alternative artist from Avebury Stone Circle. His two EPs and a host of singles, as well as work with the band ‘Wilding’, have achieved radio 2 and 6music plays, BBC intro and global spots. He’s variously supported artists including The Hoosiers, Toploader, The Levellers, Newton Faulkner, Scouting For Girls; and played festivals across the UK.
