Ben Rector (born November 6, 1986, Tulsa, Oklahoma) is an American musician based in Nashville, Tennessee. His most recent record, Something Like This was released in September 2011. Through word of mouth the record charted at #1 on the iTunes Singer/Songwriter chart.
Over the course of The Walking in Between’s twelve tracks, Rector reflects on life’s simple pleasures, offers a fresh view on matters of the heart, examines the pursuit of material wealth, and recognizes the importance of the subtle struggles and modest victories of ordinary living. On the soaring “Beautiful,” the first single from the album, Rector explores the sentimental nostalgia of a youth-recalled, evoking feelings both uplifting and bittersweet. In the honest and slightly sardonic track, “I Like You,” the young singer-songwriter sums it up with the sentiment: “there are way too many love songs, and I think they’ve got it all wrong, ‘cause life is not the mountain tops, it’s the walking in between.” (http://bighassle.com/publicity/ben-rector)
