Ben Arnold

Ben Arnold is a Philadelphia-based singer-songwriter whose soulful blend of rock, folk, and Americana has made him a staple of the local music scene since the 1990s. Known for his gravelly vocals, introspective lyrics, and knack for weaving raw emotion into catchy melodies, Arnold’s catalog—including recent releases like *XI*, *Calico*, and *Nevermind My Blues*—showcases his ability to balance gritty storytelling with melodic warmth. His live performances, like the aptly titled *Go Play in the Backyard! (Live at Luke & Kim’s)*, highlight his down-to-earth charm and connection with audiences. Over the years, he’s collaborated with artists like Amos Lee and Mutlu, while albums like *My America* and *Sunday Morning Meltdown* reflect his knack for tackling personal and societal themes with equal parts wit and sincerity. Whether stripped-down or full-band, Arnold’s music feels like a conversation with an old friend—honest, unfiltered, and deeply human.
