About the Artist
Ben Alston went to college planning to pursue a career in mechanical engineering. Shortly after starting school however, he discovered a deep love for writing music, one that eclipsed his interest in engineering. He graduated with a music degree, and after spending several years working for a utility company, he searched for a way to combine his love for God & music into a career. He’s been blessed to serve at a young church in the Baltimore metro area called Mosaic Christian Church as a worship pastor for the past 4 years. Ben writes songs that reflect on life as a Christian, as a husband, as a father – all reflecting the mystery, struggle and joy of life in Christ.
Technical Requirements:
For solo performances, Ben requires a single acoustic guitar input and a single vocal mic.
