Discography:
2009 - Land Of The Shadows
2008 - Lincoln's Man
| With the release of his second album, Land of the Shadows, Ben Bedford “...has proven himself to be a truly inspired and talented storyteller...” according to Arthur Wood (FolkWax). In its first month of airplay, Land of the Shadows reached number one on the Folk-DJ charts with three songs in the top ten.
With an understated intensity, Bedford delivers intriguing sketches of America, its individuals, their victories and their struggles. Poignant, but never sentimental, Bedford's portrait-like songs capture the vitality of his characters and draw the listener deep into the narratives.
After only four years as a full-time artist, Bedford has already played WFMT's Folkstage (hosted by Rich Warren) as well as Izzy Young's famed Folklore Centrum in Stockholm, Sweden. In addition, Bedford's music has been played on National Public Radio's Car Talk, reached the top ten on the Folk-DJ charts with both his debut and sophomore albums and was featured in The Sounding Board, the official newsletter of the renowned C.F. Martin Guitar Company. Referring to his style as “American Portrait Songwriting”, Bedford will spend 2009-2010 touring in support of Land of the Shadows.
Both albums were released on Hopeful Sky Records.
