Ben Larson developed his storyteller ways over years of hitchhiking and wandering with his guitar from Australia to Newfoundland and a thousand places in between. He lives in a hand-built homestead in Philipsburg with his public school teacher wife and two loony cowdogs. He alternates his days between carpentry and weaving his observations into gruff newspaper columns and eclectic, yet deeply poetic country songs.
