Ben Harold & The Rising live and die as a band. The quintet was founded in 2018 and specializes in rousing, hard-luck narrative roots rock. Their fiery collaborative chemistry and fine songcraft recalls classic Americana rock n’ roll bands such as Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Counting Crows, and Wilco. The 10 tracks on its debut album, These Days, explore the complexities of being human in extraordinary times.
