Ben Glover Unveils New Single "Ride The River"

Nashville-based Northern Irish Ben Glover has just unveiled his brand new single, Ride The River, featuring Kim Richey. The song is lifted from his upcoming studio album, Shorebound, set to arrive on May 4th on Proper Records! 

This is a gorgeous Americana/Country song with beautiful harmonies and guitar chords. Ben once again proves himself to be an intimate insightful storyteller! Stream this gem  below!

Speaking about the song Ben said,

“Ride The River” is the story of two lovers conspiring to get free together, dreaming and planning their great escape from the commitments of the world. When writing the song Kim Richey and I wanted to use the sense and symbols of time to show just how far these characters would go in their pursuit of being together. No matter what elements and obstacles stood before them they were moving through it all with complete devotion to one another.

Born and raised in Glenarm, Northern Ireland, Nashville based Ben Glover has been hailed by journalists around the world as one of Northern Ireland’s finest exports. A compelling songwriter, who was awarded International Song of the Year at the 2016 UK Americana Awards with Gretchen Peters for their co-written song Blackbirds, a song which appears on Glover’s album Atlantic and serves as the title track to Peters’ 2015 solo album.

The newfound sounds and shapes that comprise Shorebound mark a moment in Glover's musical history — a moment that nods to the past decade of his artistry even while pivoting into the next era. Glover says,

I’m a believer in cycles, and 2018 will mark ten years since I released my first album, so it feels very much that this album is a major turning point in a cycle. Shorebound is an acknowledgment of where I am and a celebration of the people who I’ve gotten here with.

A truly personal collection, Glover is a storyteller who can offer intrigue and insight, while his listeners lose themselves in his rich vocal.
