Artist History Ben's mother died before he was born and so he has had to find the time and energy to express himself while caring for his 40 some-odd siblings. Growing up Amish wasn't easy, but with hard work and dedication Ben finally earned his beard and was named "Ye Highest Farmer in the 17th Centuary" Somehow, we aren't quite sure how, Ben became a big hit with his songs "Down On the Farm" and "Pigs in the Hood" (translated from the original German in 1794). Now his band, Dude 222, has finally gone mainstream and hit the Big Time with their hit "You're Dead" or "59 Seconds of Bliss"... check it out.
