Independently released on Oct. 25, the 10-song collection is streaming now and available for order on vinyl, CD and download via Barbaree’s website.

Benjamin Tod returns to Fayetteville

Speaking of new releases ….

“I wanted to prove to myself and the industry that I could write an elite country record with ease,” said Lost Dog Street Band frontman, Benjamin Tod in a press release via IVPR out of Nashville following the release of his first solo album, “Shooting Star.”

“If I didn’t accomplish that goal, I sure as hell came closer than anyone on pop country radio either way.”

Tod and his band bring the Shooting Star Tour with Nolan Taylor to George’s Majestic Lounge at 8:30 p.m. Nov. 9. Tickets are $25 to $100 for the all-ages show.

“Shooting Star” isn’t just a “prove it” album for Tod, the self-proclaimed “Proprietor of Misery.” He said the album reflects its creator’s transcending into a life of gratitude, patience, and stability.

“People evolve and change. You’re growing as a person,” Tod said. “If you want to get healthier, you have to start intentionally behaving like a healthy person. You have to look around you and adapt to those things — if you don’t change your identity, it’s hard to change yourself.”

Shooting Star dropped Oct. 18 and is available for purchase at benjamintodmusic.com.
