A collector of broken watches and broken hearts, time stands still with Ben Burgess, an award winning songwriter and country artist. His work urges his listeners to avoid making the same mistakes he did. His music: a cautionary tale for the next generation. A man of truth and contradiction, Burgess invites his listeners to reject aphorisms in exchange for introspection. He's a no-bullshit bullshitter, shifting seamlessly from heart to humor in a way that feels refreshingly non-conformist. Even with endless categories and sub-categories to choose from, Burgess' music, much like the artist, defies attempts to be placed in a single box. His distinctive sound will no doubt invite imitators of his East Dallas swagger.
