I never heard of Ben Rector, here's what I found on Wiki:
After high school, Rector attended the University of Arkansas where he studied marketing. During his freshman year he recorded a self-titled EP that featured the song "Conversation", which won the Grand Prize in the pop category of the John Lennon Songwriting Contest in 2006.<1> He is the youngest person ever to win the award for the pop category. The EP grew popular in surrounding states, and by his sophomore year, Rector began touring frequently on weekends and during breaks in the school year. In 2008 Rector released his first full-length record, Twenty Tomorrow, followed by Songs That Duke Wrote in 2009. In 2009 Rector was given the NAMA award for best singer songwriter in Northwest Arkansas.<2> During his college career at the University of Arkansas he played approximately 200 shows.
In June 2009 Rector moved to Nashville with his wife to pursue songwriting and to continue his career as an artist. On November 28, 2009 he released Jingles and Bells, a Christmas album composed of classic Christmas songs.
Now I feel like I am being marketed to
His voice sort of reminds me of a collision of Dave Matthews and Adam Duritz.
Don't hate it - I stopped working to check it out - that counts for something, right?
I was wondering what I was going to say, this works!
