Artist History "Unique and fresh" is how Billboard Magazine's 10th Song Contest described New York City-based songwriter and performer Ben Eyler. Eyler's sound, which has been likened to Al Green and Paul Weller, was also described by Mish Mash Indy Music Reviews as possessing "the feeling and excitement of early soul". In addition, Eyler's song "'Til I am a Man" was recently selected by Rolling Stone Magazine's online edition as their favorite independent-artist MP3. "Worthy of Suspicion," one of the tunes from Eyler's forthcoming CD, "Good Luck Places," is featured in "Penny's Destiny," and independent film by director Michael Soussan.

Press Reviews "Be thankful there are serious songwriters like Ben Eyler." - David Malley, editor Rolling Stone Magazine "Not many artists can faithfully recreate the feeling and excitement of early soul, but Eyler seems to have his finger on the trigger." - Mish Mash Indy Music Reviews
