Having been influenced by the vibrant energy of bands like Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers; Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band; and Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit–Ben Harold & The Rising creates a unique yet familiar approach to roots-rock music. Their sound and style could fit in any number of eras yet remains modern and unique to the band. The combination of old-soul rock ‘n roll with Dylan-esque story-telling works seamlessly with the personalities that you see on stage—what you see and hear is what you get, and what you get, you will instantly love. This is a quintessential American rock band.

Ben Harold & The Rising is a 2020 WAMI nominee.
