Ben Knighten Music
Ben Knighten is a folk singer-songwriter based in Erie, Colorado. While his sound is uniquely his own, his influences include The Lumineers, Glen Hansard, and Gregory Alan Isakov. His music has been described as "an intoxicating blend of intelligent songwriting, artful arranging, beautiful singing and graceful musicianship" (Jamsphere Magazine http://jamsphere.com/reviews/ben-knighten-light-the-way-is-not-just-an- album-but-a-mood-and-an-emotion) and "a brilliant tour-de-force of folk’s emotional power” (Beachsloth.com - http://beachsloth.blogspot.com/2016/01/ben-knighten-light- way.html).
Ben was nominated for "Best Folk Artist of 2012" and "Best Folk Artist of 2013" by the Colorado Springs Independent. He has released 3 full-length albums over the last decade and is currently working on songs for his next album. Ben writes from his heart with lyrics inspired by his family and the struggle to accept and deal with our human flaws and imperfections.
Ben has performed hundreds of gigs solo, as a duo, and with a band at Colorado venues over the past 9 years, notably Stargazers Theatre in Colorado Springs, The Stone Cup in Lyons, Bierwerks in Woodland Park, Jamestown Mercantile, The Laughing Goat in Boulder, and on farther shores at Three’s Bar and Grill on Maui.
