Ben Bedford

Ben Bedford has proven himself to be a truly inspired and talented storyteller according to Arthur Wood (Maverick). Bedford establishes himself as a songwriter in the tradition of musical icons ranging from Bill Morrissey to Woody Guthrie, casting individual people in the theater of the American landscape. A true son of the heartland, Bedford dips into the deep inkwell of classic American literature and writes with the old soul quality of his literary idols, such as John Steinbeck and Toni Morrison. In the ten years since the release of his first album, Bedford has played his songs for audiences all over the United States, hitting notable venues such as The Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, Folkstage in Chicago, The Focal Point in St. Louis, and the Fayetteville Roots Festival in Fayetteville, Arkansas. His music has received extensive airplay on folk and roots radio in the U.S., as well as in Europe, taking him overseas on several occasions for concert dates on the continent and in the United Kingdom. Ben has become a fast friend to The Focal Point and we always look forward to sharing his performances with you. Dont miss this one!
