Ben Glover hails from Glenarm, Co Antrim, a small coastal village 30 miles from Belfast, N. Ireland and splits him time between there and Nashville, Tennesse. This singer/songwriter traded in a degree in law to pursue music and from all accounts it was a move that has paid off. Glover has been compared to Ryan Adams, David Gray and Bruce Springsteen and has been called one “one of the finest writers in Ireland today.” Glover has garnered rave album and concert reviews from across the globe and has toured extensively both as an opening act as well as a headliner. In the past calendar year his touring schedule included dates in Belfast, London, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dublin, New York, Brussels as well as dates at the famed Hotel Café in Los Angeles and sold out shows in the Nashville’s legendary Bluebird Café. Glover has toured and/or performed with Vince Gill, Mickey Raphael, Buddy Miller, Jim Lauderdale, Mary Gauthier, Gretchen Peters and Jason Mraz. His songs have been used in feature films such as “Finding Joy,” and "Light Years," hit webisode series “Adults Only,” MTV program "The Real World," and as the theme song for BBC N.Ireland sports programme "The Championship." Glover just completed his fourth full-length album “Do We Burn the Boats?” available now! |
