About Ben Bates
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail.
I remember being about three years old sitting between my two older brothers in the backseat of Dad's gold '04 Duramax listening to Ricky Skaggs and KT's "Live at the Charleston Music Hall".
Every time I smell diesel fuel I think of that record.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular?
Dire Straits, On the Night (Remastered) [Live] [Remastered]
Jimmy Buffett, Living And Dying In 3/4 Time
Turnpike Troubadours, Diamonds and Gasoline
I love all three of these albums so very much.
All three of them are nostalgic to me in their own unique ways. Give 'em a spin.

“No Luck at All”
I love this song.
Not because it is a great song (I'm aware that it's not a lyrical masterpiece), but because I vividly remember writing it in my voice memos while cruising south on Highway 25 heading back down to Statesboro from Augusta.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far?
I would have to say my most memorable moment was when I played my first live gig my freshman year at Georgia Southern.
I played on the back porch at Southern Social to about 12 people and I probably sounded terrible.
But dang, I was stoked to play.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band?
Yes.
Everything.
