Ben Harold & The Rising live and die as a band. The quintet was founded in 2018 and specializes in rousing, hard-luck narrative indie/ roots rock. Their fiery collaborative chemistry and fine songcraft recalls classic bands such as Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Counting Crows, and Ryan Adams & The Cardinals. The 10 tracks on its debut album, These Days, explore the complexities of being human in extraordinary times.
Ben Harold & The Rising has shared the stage with established artists Phillip-Michael Scales, Andrew Leahey & The Homestead, Mike Mains & The Branches, the Cordovas, and Guster. The band has headlined at West Bend Wisconsin's Historic Bend Theatre, Appleton Wisconsin's Mile of Music Festival, the beloved Chill on the Hill Music Series and has opened for headliners at Summerfest. Their music has been featured on TV and radio across Wisconsin and have amassed over a thousand followers on social media.
