Ben Connelly’s covered the country: hitchhiking alone, then in a van with alt-country demolition crew Steeplejack, and since 2000, solo again with an old guitar. He’s done his time in rehabs and detoxes; he’s given himself to fathering and Zen practice, and through it all he‘s been devoted to song. Ben Connelly has a calling to tell stories, the ones he’s lived and heard and the ones he’s invented. Sept. 12th, 2006 will mark the arrival of his new album, Over You.
