Benjamin Wetherill

"...Wetherill mixes traditional songs with haunting originals and veers between straight-up gritty folk and ethereal psychedelia. His voice possesses a fragile quality, somehow not of this era but also fresh sounding. Though acoustic folk is hardly a new concept, it is very difficult to think of any particular artist he is imitating". (Sandman)
