Mesmerizing audiences with a dynamic live show that includes skillfully crafted songs that meld the best of pop and rock, Ben Rector is thrilled to announce he will join NEEDTOBREATHE on their “The Reckoning” tour beginning February 15th. Ben recently finished a headlining tour of the states in support of his new album SOMETHING LIKE THIS, which included sold-out shows in Washington DC, Nashville, Boston, Atlanta, Houston, Minneapolis, Birmingham and Tulsa.
SOMETHING LIKE THIS, which debuted at #41 on the Billboard Top 200 and at #1 on iTunes Singer Songwriter album chart, has been catching the attention of kids across the country, with what ABC Music Lounge, Billboard, iTunes, Amazon and others praise for infectious melodies, lively rhythms and blue-eyed piano-and-guitar soul.
Building his fan-base the old fashioned way – great songs and steady touring – this Nashville based artist has won over a legion of fans without the help from a label. Instead Ben has relied on his songwriting – a talent that made him the youngest winner of the John Lennon Songwriting contest – and a DIY effort to reach fans using social networks. Both have built Ben an incredible following, one that continually keeps his songs and albums on the top of the charts. Ben’s last record INTO THE MORNING debuted at #5 on the iTunes pop chart, #10 on the overall chart, and #11 on Billboard’s Heatseekers.
