Ben Kadlecek

Nashville singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Ben Kadlecek hails from Texas; where everything is bigger. At 28 years old, Ben has already built a compelling career rooted in storytelling, authentic songwriting, and dynamic live performance. 

 

Ben spent his early years performing intimate acoustic sets and small band shows across the Lone Star State before assembling a full band and hitting the road throughout the South. At the core of his artistry is his love for storytelling - a gift that shines through whether he’s behind a guitar or a keyboard, a skill he’s cultivated since learning piano at just seven years old. 

 

As a songwriter, Ben approaches each track like a puzzle, piecing together lyrics and melodies to create songs that resonate on a deeper level. His songwriting earned national recognition when “Amen” originally featured on Brazos County Bound, became the lead single for Nashville artist Jacob Bryant’s 2022 album Barstool Preacher. 

 

That same year, Ben released a string of singles that expanded his reach, including “Ghosts”, which made its way to BMI”s Texas Top 10 playlist and “Tell Me” which landed on Spotify’s Fresh Finds Country playlist.

 

In August 2023, Ben made the move to Nashville full time, diving headfirst into writing and recording new material. Alongside a busy writing schedule, Ben landed a residency at Eric Church’s “Chief’s” bar on Broadway and has even shared the stage with The Chief himself on multiple occasions. 

 

The Heartbreak Sessions released in March 2024 marked a fresh chapter in his sound, followed by the October Single “Hell Mary”. With music continuing to roll out - Ben Kadlecek is poised for a breakout. Gritty, heartfelt, and unmistakably real, he’s a rising voice worth keeping an eye (and ear) on.
