Welp, I guess this is my story:
I'm the son of a musician- grew up in deep south honkey tonks and small town churches. I swore that I'd never be a musician, but I learned four chords on accident and I've been kicking myself since. Nietzche says that the only person that should be a writer is the person who is ashamed to write. I see too little venom and too little heart when I stare out my window. I see gold tongue carpet-baggers who sing for the holes in their pockets and I see starry-eyed firecrackers planted in shallow ground and I see great big megaphones magnifying squeaks and whimpers. So I've been around this country singing my songs, hardly "seasoned," but not the starry-eyed firecracker I once was. This soil here in Georgia is red rich with melody and song. From the Slave Songs in South Georgia to the Mississippi Delta Blues to the East Tennessee Mountain Music- and I'm standing right in the middle of it- it is my inheritance, and the inheritance of a great company of artists, writers, poets and prophets that I get to call friends and family.
Music isn't fashion or politics or fortune. Music is a sacrament of human connection, not a trade or calling- I'm just happy I can sit around and participate. I wrote these songs for you.

Hey its Sem. Thought I would see how you are. Our myspace is not broken anymore :) The last few days have been a nightmare. Just wanted to let you know if you didn't get my last message that we have a new single coming out next Spring, and if you haven't seen yet we have a new website. www.bensem.com If you become a member you will be one of the first to know the release date. The only reason I mention is that it takes me about 6 months to try and tell everyone on myspace lol. You up to much this weekend? Speak to you soon
McNary, Kenny B, Anne Harper, Prisca, John Henry Velez, & Drew Gleason will be collaborating on stage for the first time. Performing together they are their own backing band! There will be Daring Duets, Well Loved Covers, and Compelling Original music will light up your night.
Tyler Lyle, How's it going? I just wanted to let you know that my debut CD "Like I'm Beautiful" is now available on iTunes, on sale for only $5.94 this week!
Hope that you enjoy and have a blessed day! Kelly Murray
Yo Tyler Lyleasaurus. I just found out that we're related...and as a special family only present we've made a new song for you called "End of Days" (start doing backflips now). It's an epic instrumental opus to the moment when our ancient Dino relatives saw a large fiery object plummeting towards them. Please come to our page, give it a listen and let us know if it makes you feel like something catastrophic is gonna happen. If the song upsets you too much we will be holding several s support groups (read: comcerts) in the near future. Check our page for locations, dates and times.
Hello! Wow, honestly? Thankyou so much - It really means a lot :') I was going to tell you how much of a fan i am of your music - but i think you got to me first! Your songs are so beautiful. Can i buy them anywhere? Anytime you're in Europe, let me know! You wouldn't need to bug me about a collaberation at all, it would be the other way around :) xxx
