The B.D. Killen Music Group is thrilled to announce "Singing River Blues," the debut single by emerging blues artist Ben Killen. This song, steeped in acoustic blues and Americana traditions, tells a story full of personal insights and musical history. It draws from the influence of blues greats like Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters. Now available for streaming and download, this track lets listeners dive into Killen's unique sound.
Ben Killen is recognized for both his soulful voice and his skill with the acoustic steel guitar. He brings an authentic style to "Singing River Blues," one that echoes the timeless blues. The song's lyrics pay homage to the legendary W.C. Handy, known as the "Father of the Blues." It blends traditional blues elements while also addressing modern-day challenges artists face in the music industry.
As part of his commitment to musicians' rights, Ben Killen has pledged to donate all the first year's proceeds from "Singing River Blues" sales to charity. These funds will support advocating for the "Living Wage for Musicians Act of 2024" H.R. 7763. The act aims to increase streaming royalties and improve compensation for musicians. This generous move highlights Killen's dedication to fostering positive change within the music community.
