Ben Kyle

The front man of the alternative country band Romantica, Ben Kyle embarked on a solo endeavor in the mid 2000s and was received with significant critical acclaim after he released his 2007 debut effort, America. The challenge to produce a quality follow-up record caused Kyle to scrap three years worth of recorded material in 2011 and start his sophomore album with a fresh slate. His effort paid off and resulted in his eponymous 2012 album, which offers an intimate view of his struggle to balance a music career and a family.
