Ben Salmon
Ben is a committed night owl with an undying devotion to discovering new music. He loves Mexican food, Kentucky basketball, his two kids and his wife (not necessarily in that order). In 2018, he became the kind of person who travels overseas to see a band when he flew to London to catch Gerard Love's last show with Teenage Fanclub. He thinks he needs more of that kind of thing in his life.
