Ben Wells - Black Stone Cherry

It's always great to find an artist who you know will be perfect for this show and our guest this week, Ben Wells of Black Stone Cherry, is just that. Not only is Ben a dog dad to three wonderful beagles - Henry (13), Hank (8) and Sunny Pearl (2) - but he also just released a children's book titled Good Girl Sunny Pearl which he wrote, illustrated and published. To top it all off Ben and his wife Jessica created the Henry & Clark Foundation that supports children and animals in need. Black Stone Cherry will be on a 11 date US tour that starts on March 13 in Bloomington, IL. For more info and tickets visit blackstonecherry.com. Ben's book Good Girl Sunny Pearl is available on Amazon and Barnes & Nobel. Ben gave a shout out to three great organizations. The first is The Barren River Animal Welfare Association who provide a safe haven for homeless companion animals and provide animals in need with humane treatment and good homes while working to reduce the population of unwanted pets through spay/neuter programs, education, and outreach. To adopt, foster, volunteer or donate visit brawashelter.org His second shout out goes to the Miranda Lambert led Mutt Nation whose mission is to promote the adoption of shelter pets, advance spay & neuter; and educate the public about the benefits of these actions. To see the wide range of efforts they spearhead visit muttnation.com Lastly, Ben gave some well-earned praise to the Beagle Freedom Project who are the world’s leading organization for rescuing and rehoming animals used in experimental research. Since 2010, BFP have liberated thousands of animals while working to end their abuse through education, advocacy, and legislation. To contribute to their goal of a world without animal testing visit bfp.org And we at Rocker Dog would like to shout out Ben's Henry and Clark Foundation whose mission is to raise awareness and support for children and animals in need.
