Mr Ben & the Bens is the brainchild of the Lancaster-based artist Ben Hall, a project that came into being around 2016 as a platform for Hall’s wistful and whimsical indie pop-folk tunes. The entity, which can either refer to Hall solo or his band when performing with a full ensemble, has a knack for crafting quirky and endearing melodies paired with thoughtful, often introspective lyrics. The music combines a lo-fi aesthetic with a DIY spirit, and Mr Ben & the Bens has been characterized by an artful approach to songwriting and a penchant for storytelling.

Their discography showcases an eclectic blend of influences, from folk to jangle-pop, with Hall's gentle vocal delivery being a mainstay throughout. With releases like "Nape Of My Neck" and "Good Day For Drying," the group continues to explore the sweet intricacies of day-to-day life through song. Their 2020 album "Life Drawing" serves as a testament to their growth and songcraft, with tracks like “On The Beach” displaying their ability to evoke vivid images and emotions. As they evolve, Mr Ben & the Bens find new ways to captivate listeners with their distinctly charming sound, building a fanbase attracted to their unique mesh of storytelling and melody.
