Benjamin Francis Leftwich – “Look at Miss Ohio”

Benjamin Francis Leftwich is in the heartland, kicking off his 2012 tour in Canada as he creeps his way on to the states. He launched the tour by releasing a cover of "Ticket To Ride" by The Beatles about a week ago, and has now launched a cover of Gillian Welch's hit track "Look at Miss Ohio." Typical of Ben, the cover builds off of his laid back relaxing style, fixating the listener with a tune that isn't much more than a guitar and a voice. The thing is, when you're as talented as Ben this sort of simplistic approach works just fine. Check out the track below, and keep an eye out for when Ben comes to a town near you.

Music Blogger/ Indie Music Consultant/ PR Representative/ Musician/ Artist/ Entreprenuer/ Comedian/ Music World: Contact Me. Upon this day, I declare that Indie music is leaps and bounds more pure than anything else, and the Term "Indie" means not that a band isn't mainstream, but that a band has been able to hold on to its roots, even through fame and fortune. While the wonderful thumps and womps of electronic music gets me grooving, it will always be the Alternative Indie Rock that guides me to the homeland. And for that -- I both thank it and applaud it -- for it has brought me great pleasure in the past and will so in the future.
