Ben Bedford: Valley of Stars

The music of Ben Bedford talks on on a trip through a wider lens to life, not only that of humans, but of the vibrant world around us, with all our relations. While Ben's words dance lyrically through images and poetry, his tunes dance magically through guitar strings and vibrations. While Ben has 6 albums to-date, all music featured here is from his latest, Valley of the Stars, because Ben's soul is so closely and clearly illuminated from his latest songs. Ben Bedford's home is Springfield, Illinois.
