Youre Invited to a Virtual Fireside Chat with Sony Music Artist, Ben Goldsmith on February 21st.

Sony Music Artist, Ben Goldsmith is a singer-songwriter and accomplished multi-instrumentalist whose iconoclastic and visionary art transcends the bounds of traditional genres. With wide-ranging sonic influences from Bob Dylan and Queen to Zach Bryan and Maggie Rogers, Ben has masterfully crafted his own innovative style and lyrical-art.

Bens extraordinary musical journey began at the age of four, and with his natural musical gifts and passion for performing, he quickly developed a commanding onstage presence, forming bands and performing live across the country by the time he was 12 years old. Bens talents brought him to Nashville where he has worked with professional manager, Mike Crowley, to build his extended creative and business team, including Sony Nashville, Universal Music Publishing Group (UMPG), and United Talent Agency (UTA).

Ben is one of the youngest artists signed by Sony Nashville. "He literally came in, 16 years old, playing like he played, singing like he sings and I'm sitting here going, 'This is virtuoso'." - Randy Goodman, CEO of Sony Nashville.

And, after performing at Live Nation's Nashville office in early 2023, before he left the building, Ben was given a slot to perform at Bonnaroo. In Fall of 2023, Ben launched his debut album with Sony Music, The World Between My Ears.

Ben is currently working on his next album with top songwriters and producers in Los Angeles and Nashville, which will be part of a new label from Sony Music, focused on global markets. And, when he isnt in the studio, Ben continues to blaze his creative path on tour.

He is heading to Tempe to play the Innings Festival on March 2^nd, where he will share the bill with Dave Matthews Band, Sheryl Crow and the Gin Blossoms.
