Darkness Before Dawn

BUY C.D.

New album 'Darkness Before Dawn' continues the excellent track record of the last few years of records, namely ‘Broken Road’, and last years ‘Marked Man’. Ben Hemming has been busy in the studio creating a release full of Rock, Blues, and a sprinkling of Americana.

“The album marks for me a creative peak in terms of my song writing and musicianship. This isn’t simply a Blues album in so much as it’s not purely Rock or Americana. I see it as an amalgamation of all these genres to create something honest and heartfelt. The same is reflected in the lyrical content, it really distils what I’m trying to express through my music.”

Recorded at Masterlink Productions, a studio located in rural Woking just outside of London, with producer James Welsh at the controls, the recording process acted as a ‘safe haven’ away from the distractions of city life and gave a real focus and direction to the music.

"Ben Hemming is another artist to add to the growing list of superb young British born Blues artists such as Toby Lee, Laurence Jones, Phillip Sayce, Troy Redfern, and Kris Barras.

Let the `Darkness Before Dawn` seep into your life." - 9/10 Maximum Volume Music

"If Ben Hemming was not on your radar before then welcome, where have you been. Artist that could have his best year in the next 12 months starting with this album." 8.5/10 Electric Music Magazine
