Day 17: Ben Barritt | #HITSBC17

Hey guys!

Whilst it's super exciting to welcome all these new faces to the countdown, it's also extremely wonderful to have friends of HITS get involved again.

Every year when I message everyone to invite them to join us, we all have a collective "can't believe it's been another year" moment and I couldn't enjoy that more if I tried.

So yeah, it's been another year and we're all here again, celebrating another year of fantastic music with everyone on house in the sand.

Ready for day 17?


What is #HITSBC17?
HITSBC17 stands for house in the sand's Birthday Countdown 2017.
Throughout the entire month of February, we are going to celebrate house in the sand's fifth birthday.
(Because why celebrate on one day, if you can celebrate for an entire month, right?)
With the support from some of the finest artists and bands around, each day in February will be filled with an exclusive performance just for us.

Who is performing today?
Ben Barritt.
He is singer/songwriter/guitarist from London, UK based in Berlin, Germany.

His sound blends an impressive amount of genres; from soft and calm acoustic tunes, to folky rhythms to souly jazz songs with sprinkles of rock and r'n'b.

Originally being from London, England, a lot of his songs tell stories about the little things at home: walking through the dark streets on the way back from the pub or using the London underground to see the person you love.

A few of those stories can be found on Ben's EP "Sundial", and even more of those stories are told on his debut album "What Would You Like To Leave Behind?".
You can usually find Ben gigging with his band.

What needs to be said about this performance?
It's a super calming performance which is p e r f e c t  for you, if you had a stressful day.
You'll find yourself relaxing and focusing on the song which is delivered in such comforting manner.
Whether you're familiar with Ben's sound or not, you'll dig this!

Here we go, check out Ben's performance of his song "Keep It Coming" and enjoy!
