ABOUT BEN DE LA COUR - www.kipynmartin.com

Ben de la Cour is a master storyteller who pairs his narratives with dense arrangements and an unforeseen sense of drama and deliberation.
- GOLDMINE

Born in London and raised in Brooklyn, Ben de la Cour was playing New York City dive bars with his brother a full decade before he could legally drink. A high-school dropout and former amateur boxer, he received his education by listening to his parents record collection full of everything from Bob Dylan and The Everly Brothers to Lynyrd Skynyrd.

At the age of nineteen he spent a year in Havana training with members of the Cuban national boxing team before moving to London with his brother to revive their doom metal band, Dead Mans Root. They lived in a van and toured around Europe for several years until the band fell apart under the two-fisted attack of burnout and drunken brawls.

In 2008 de la Cour returned to the states with a head full of softer, bruised, but no less intense acoustic songs. Following a short stint in Los Angeles, Ben passed through New Orleans and ended up in Nashville. In April of 2018 Ben de la Cour released his third record, The High Cost of Living Strange, eight tracks of his self-proclaimed Americanoir style - weaving complex, mysterious and sometimes shocking storylines with a unique blend of instrumental backing and the occasional glimpse of gallows humor.

The High Cost of Living Strange has been featured on SiriusXM Outlaw Country, BBC Radio and NPR while receiving high praise from American Songwriter, No Depression, Goldmine and Daytrotter as well as fellow songwriters and sometimes touring partners such as Adam Carroll, Jon Dee Graham and Rod Picott. Ben de la Cour currently spends over a hundred days a year on the road touring the U.S, Canada and Europe.
