Ben Briley’s Facebook is covered with photos of himself and his wife. It’s safe to assume hes happily married. Indeed, the blurb on his Twitter feed reads, “Married to an unbelievably amazing woman. Music keeps me going. Friends keep me humble. Family keeps me strong.”

The Nashville, Tennessee singer plays guitar, but as you’ll quickly understand as you watch his Youtube channel performances–he’s pretty good. He strums AND picks. He also plays piano. His Youtube performances are all at least 2 years old, except for a couple I found with another Nashville artist, Mitch Gallagher.
