Country Roads with Ben Earle
Singer songwriter Ben Earle is offering Country fans a fresh take on the lives of their favourite artists.
Country music has always been closely tied to the land from which it sprung, and as a result many of the best Country songs tell us stories with a strong sense of place. With this in mind, Ben is by getting to know the biggest and brightest Country stars through the places that have made them who they are; the landscapes that have shaped them, the trips that have opened their eyes to new possibilities, and the people they encountered whose stories they’ve captured in a song.
If their lives were a stack of postcards, where would they be from?
This is where, together, we find out.
Meet us here every Thursday to hear real stories about the places that’ve left a mark on some of the best-loved country music, and the roads our favourite artists have traveled on to find a sense of home.
