BEN RECTOR:

Fifteen years after starting his career writing songs and touring in his Honda Accord on the weekends, Ben Rector found himself at home and at the piano in March 2020. The alchemy of life’s big questions, more downtime than he’d had in a decade, and those now all-too-familiar “unprecedented times” resulted in his career album: The Joy of Music. The project includes a breathtaking short film (featuring seven songs brought to life with stunning cinematography), inviting listeners and viewers to visit a dream world that communicates Rector’s creative process and his reckoning with his job as an artist. He is led through the film’s chapters by his new friend Joy, a muppet monster he created with Jim Henson’s Creature Shop. In this fantastic and dream-like landscape we see and hear Rector overcome a deep-seated fear of failure, dancing and singing his way through the journey of rediscovering the joy of music.


Ben Rector has amassed over a billion streams across all platforms, has performed on numerous late night and morning TV shows including Conan, The Today Show, Jimmy Kimmel, Live With Kelly And Ryan, The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and as a celebrity mentor on American Idol alongside alongside Ryan Tedder, Jewel, Brian McKnight, Jason Aldean and more. His records have topped numerous Billboard charts, with his last two records landing at #1 on Billboard's US Folk and #2 on Billboard's US Rock and US Indie charts. Rector has built a dedicated touring base, regularly selling out theaters and amphitheaters across the country, including three consecutive nights at the legendary Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.


THE NATIONAL PARKS:

The National Parks are an indie folk band that emerged from Provo, Utah, in the United States. The band's music is characterized by lush instrumentation, soaring harmonies, and introspective lyrics that often draw inspiration from the natural world. As its name suggests, the band is closely associated with the national parks of the American West, which are a recurring theme in its songs.

The National Parks are part of a vibrant indie folk scene in Utah that includes bands like The Lower Lights and The Moth & The Flame. The scene is characterized by a DIY ethos, with many artists self-releasing their music and booking their own shows. The National Parks have built a loyal following through relentless touring and word-of-mouth buzz, and have shared stages with acts like Imagine Dragons and American Authors.


The National Parks have collaborated with a number of other artists within the indie folk scene, including Andrew Simple and Mindy Gledhill. They have also been featured on a number of Spotify playlists, which has helped to expand their fanbase beyond Utah. The band's music has been praised for its emotional depth and lush, cinematic soundscapes, which have earned comparisons to artists like Fleet Foxes and Bon Iver.
