Nightflying magazine - review of Cuzz III album
1. “he could hold his own with any popular country artist you might hear on the radio these days”
2. Ben is “firm proof homegrown talent is strong”
Brandler Johnson - former host of writers night at the Hall of Fame Lounge in Nashville, TN
1. "Ben, you put on a great show at the Hall of Fame Lounge tonight. The way you infuse a little Delta Blues into Country is fantastic. I am looking forward to hearing you play again on Nov. 13th. Great night! "
2. "Outstanding show at the HOF last night. Your 3 hour encore set with Lisa Sanders and Boomer Castleman was unprecedented. It gave me the chance to hear more of your songs. Absolutely great stuff. Can't wait to do that again."
Anders Osborne - Grammy winner who performed with Ben several times at the old Crescent Café and Oyster Bar in Nashville, TN
1. "He sings every song like its the last song he'll ever sing"
2. “You have a voice like a castle”
3. “You are the voice that Nashville has been looking for”
Brandon Hogg - committee member for the Pink Tomato Festival in Warren ,AR
1. "Ben has been a staple for the Bradley County Pink Tomato Festival for 4 years. His honest, down home style has drawn our people to him and the crowds have grown each year that he's been a part of our entertainment package."
Jeff Hodges – owner of Foghorns Wings in Fayetteville, AR
1. Ben Coulter is one of the local artists that I look forward to hearing every time he performs. He brings in great crowds and has a very large following in Fayetteville. He has such a wide range of songs that he keeps the crowd entertained for hours. From original hits such as "Songwriter" to cover songs from the country greats, Ben Coulter is definitely an up and coming artist you don't want to miss! I personally look forward to every show Ben performs and make it a point to catch him playing whenever I can.
