For singer/songwriter Ben Danaher, carrying on a family tradition of storytelling has often led him down darkened roads to haunting, painful reflection on his journey thus far. But Danaher is no longer standing in shadows. The Texas-native is back in a glorious new season of self-reflection with a brand-new, astute and sincere lease on life and love.

Danaher’s latest effort, “The Actor”, packs a powerful punch, rolling along with a tender and restrained edginess. The track deals with a rampant, yet rarely discussed issue in the artist community—the topic of imposter syndrome. The idea came to Danaher after a particularly impactful therapy session. After opening up to producer Sean McConnell on the subject, the two couldn’t stop working until the song was completely tracked.
