About the Artist
Ben Garnett is a Nashville-based acoustic guitarist & composer interested in possibility, composition, and connection. After majoring in jazz guitar performance (2016) at the renowned University of North Texas, Garnett moved into the world of contemporary American acoustic music, where he’s since made his home as an internationally touring artist.
In March 2023, Garnett released his debut solo LP “Imitation Fields” produced by Chris Eldridge (guitarist of the band Punch Brothers), on Padiddle Records. Described as a “vivid dreamscape of acoustic immediacy and electronic fantasy,” the album has since been written about in Premier Guitar, and has received recognition across the acoustic world. Acclaimed acoustic guitarist Bryan Sutton calls the work “…a beautiful record. Songs that are modern and musical, bringing out the best in every musician involved. I’ll be listening to this for a long time.”
