Description

Ben Smith is one of Dallas/Fort Worth's premier, one-man acoustic entertainer/singer/songwriters. He specializes in classic country, rock, and pop music.

In 2011, Ben's singer/songwriter abilities landed him a spot as a contestant on the reality TV show, "CMT's Next Superstar," where he placed in the Top 10 out of thousands of hopefuls.

Mixed with his crowd-interactive, fun and engaging originals and comedic stage banter, Ben Smith's performances consistently surprise event planners with how well he can keep the party moving as a one man show. It is a very good bang for your buck, as an event planner. You can't go wrong with adding Ben Smith to the mix for a fun, easy-going and energetic event.
