Nashville, TN
Songwriter and recording artist Benjamin Tod moves with a sense of calm that wasn’t always there.
He is grateful, settled, and intentional, continuing to follow the compass that’s guided him from the beginning: Music should serve something larger than the moment. His writing speaks to mind, body, and soul, shaped by faith, discipline, and a hard-earned understanding of consequence. And lately, his output has reflected that sentiment bountifully and beautifully. Since the release of 2024’s Shooting Star, a steady run of singles like “Goner / Goner (Alone)”, “Outlaw Shit (feat. Shooter Jennings)”, “Kentucky Coal / Cry You A River” with Matt Heckler, and “Hell I Have”—produced by Shooter Jennings—mark a period of focused output, each release reinforcing the instincts that have long defined his work.
With his recently announced upcoming LP, Vengeance and Grace, Tod presents two parallel worlds: (Alone) is a stripped, solo-acoustic version, paired with its full band counterpart. Together, the two versions of exactly what Tod is capable of: restraint on one side, force on the other.
Today, Tod released the album’s title track, a study of the duality of his own life. “
I’d like to believe justice is woven somewhere between the two, which is the usual goal, whether it’s a reward or a punishment,” he says of “Vengeance and Grace (Alone).”
“There’s always a circulation in my life trying to balance these, and every verse in the song transitions from one to the other. If I really listen to every movement and line, it can still make me emotional.” The darkness that once defined Tod is neither denied nor indulged.
Rooted in traditional country and folk, his work stands firmly in the modern music landscape, shaped by experience, restraint, and the life he’s built around it.
