Awesome!
  Ridley Bent

Not Yet Rated

Alternative | Country | Hip-Hop | Rock

Ridley Bent is an entertainer, a crooner, a gee-tar player and a songwriter with a knack for detail. He’s hell on wheels with a microphone whether he’s fronting a band or on stage all by his lonesome. He has mastered the art of telling a story. Love and murder, dope and glory, politics and pop culture – this is Ridley’s addiction. Throw in some break beats, phat bass, sweet country and a melody and you’ve got yourself an earful of ‘Hick Hop’. A new sound that’s already made more than a few jaws drop.

Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Ridley Bent spent his youth as an army brat traversing across the vast expanses of Canada. He listened to his Pa play Johnny Cash and Hank Williams on his beat-up old guitar. He never did dig that old country and western. He preferred Brit-Pop and Hip Hop but those old tunes must have sunk into his subconscious because that southern twang is evident in his songs.

With each passing day Ridley continues to expand his wily and crafty chops as a performer. Whether he’s turning heads with a full band at a Sam Roberts show, going word for word with Buck 65 or leaving folks with the warm fuzzies at a backyard hootenanny, Ridley Bent has established himself as a true force to be reckoned with in the innovative realm of music.
