SMITHVILLE, TX – Ben Tyler Johnson’s Texas red dirt country roots live and breathe in his music.  With his debut CD/EP release, BEN TYLER JOHNSON and The Hired Guns, Ben has reached new heights with his musical prowess.  Along with other legendary talents from the likes of Brandon Rhyder, Honeybrowne, and Getocowboys bands, Ben’s new CD defines the edge of Texas Red Dirt Music – rock, country, blue grass, blues…

As his fan base grows exponentially, they continue to describe Ben’s music as something that just “pulls you in”, is “Bad A_ _”, gives you “goose bumps”, and as one particular demographic puts it, “if he is this good on stage, how good is he at other things?”   His amazing vocal reach, incredible lyrical story telling and prose, skillfulness with an acoustic guitar, down home disposition with red dirt edge leaves fans and audiences feeling they have witnessed a newborn legend.

With his smoking new tour band members, Danny DeLong – bass and Neil Watkins – drums, Ben’s unique sound can be seen and heard throughout Texas.  Produced and recorded in the live music capital of the world, Austin, TX, for BEN TYLER JOHNSON and The Hired Guns, the road trip has just begun!
