Ben Reel;
Since launching his solo career in 1999 with This Is the Movie, Ben has carved a distinctive path through rock, folk, soul, and Americana. Critics have compared him to John Hiatt, Roy Orbison, even dubbing him “the Irish Springsteen,” yet his sound remains unmistakably his own.
Across a career spanning more than 35 years, Ben has released a string of acclaimed albums, including The Nashville Calling (2020), recorded with Will Kimbrough and featuring E Street Band’s Garry W. Tallent, which topped the Euro Americana Chart. His most recent records, Locked in & Live (2022) and Come a Long Way (2023), cemented his reputation as a fearless and ever-evolving artist.
Ben has performed on BBC, RTÉ, Dutch NPO Radio, toured internationally, and shared stages with artists like Jools Holland, The Cranberries, Nanci Griffith and Eric Andersen. From Nashville’s Bluebird Café to European festivals, his reputation as a committed live performer continues to grow.
With a loyal international fan base and tireless work ethic, Ben Reel remains one of Ireland’s most enduring troubadours.
New album “Spirit’s Not Broken” will be released worldwide on January 23, 2026 by Dutch record label - Mars Music Group
Ben shall be joined by guitar virtuoso Gerry Black!
