Feature of the Fortnight - Ben Hutcheson


Ben is the new generation of the recent pedigree of fresh English singer/songwriters. Critiqued as bridging the storytelling gap between the likes of Ed Sheeran, Luke Combs and Scotty McCreery.



We're delighted to introduce our next Scarlet River PR 'Feature of the Fortnight, Ben Hutcheson.





Described as a ‘young singer/songwriter with a wisdom beyond his years’, bristol-based Ben Hutcheson uses his lyrical prowess to ‘tackle universal themes such as love and loss…yet weave captivating stories with a contemporary feel’ (All About Eve). Having graced the stage with acts such as Scouting For Girls, Natalie Imbruglia, Fun Lovin' Criminals, and Billy Ocean, Ben has cut his teeth in fine company. He has released several original singles, and a debut album, already totalling in excess of 30 million streams worldwide.


His songs have clarity beyond his years. His music career started young, learning his craft with any open mic willing to stage him and since then has gone on to play around the UK. Born in Bristol, South West England, Ben followed his own ear for song writing & developed a style that enhances the emerging  British Country scene. Taking influence from many artists and trying to break the curve of the standard singer/songwriter.


Ben has become a growingly aware and prominent artist to look out for.  His music career started at a young age and since then has gone on to play all around the UK. He currently resides in Bristol where he has since released several singles and a debut album totalling within excess of 30 million streams worldwide.


Ben lists many influences that span through many genres and eras but he notes a few extremely influential artists ranging from AC/DC, Kenny Chesney, Luke Combs, Passenger, Scotty McCreery, Ed Sheeran, The Script and more. Having graced the stage with acts such as Scouting For Girls, Natalie Imbruglia, Fun Lovin' Criminals, Billy Ocean and many more, Ben has cut his teeth in fine company.


"Ben Hutcheson’s dark husky growl sings of a world of intimacy and observation. Love, lust and tenderness, haunted dancehalls and broken promises - Ben’s world is weary though alive due to delicacy and romance. From Portishead to Nashville this is music for lovers, vagrants and thieves."

- Davey Ray Moore (CousteauX)


"An Incredible voice" - Roy Stride (Scouting for Girls)
