An Evening with Ben Torbett and Cliff Westfall
Originally from North Georgia, Ben Torbett’s new album, Bluer Side, captures his roots in classic country, rock, and honest songwriting, with rough-and-tumble lyricism that has earned the record high praise. His shows always sell out, featuring some of the best country from Chattanooga performed by all-star players.
Ben Torbett Praise from Americana Highways
“This album is called Bluer Side for a reason — it’s heartaches, wretchedness, blue sorrow, self-awareness, and memories, all carried by electric riffs, pedal steel, and rich guitar melodies. The album begins with a classic country feel before shifting into rootsy rock ’n’ roll. Start the year off right and give it a listen.”
Cliff Westfall, a Kentucky-born songwriter now based in the Catskills and NYC area, blends rock-tinged classic country with influences ranging from Dwight Yoakam and Rodney Crowell to Elvis Costello. His 2018 debut album, Baby You Win, earned airplay on SiriusXM’s Outlaw Country, rave reviews in over 30 publications worldwide, and spots on multiple year-end “Best Of” lists, while his song “More and More (I Love You Less and Less)” was a finalist in the Chris Austin Songwriting Competition at MerleFest. An 8th-generation Kentuckian raised in Owensboro, Westfall channels the mix of country, rock, and old-school R&B from his youth into his signature “electrified honky tonk” sound. Currently, he is working on a new record with acclaimed Nashville producer Jordan Lehning, continuing to craft witty, hook-filled songs that critics describe as some of the most cunning and melodic country in the contemporary era.
