It wouldn’t be right to release a country record in Vancouver and not play it live at the Heatley. So that’s what Ben Arsenault is going to do on September 7, 2024 for his new album “Make Way For This Heartache”.

Since its release on July 11, 2024, “Make Way For This Heartache” has been garnering all the right kind of praise for a classic country album.

“One of this year’s most comforting country records” said Holler Country, who included Ben in their list of 10 artists you need to know for July 2024.

Bandcamp included “Make Way First This Heartache” on its list of the “Best Country Music on Bandcamp” for July 2024 and praised its “timeless twangy elements“.

“This is what country music should sound like” said Americana UK. We agree, big time!

Ben will be bringing his full band with him for a real night of honky tonkin', and is joined by two very talented artists who are no strangers to The Heatley Stage, Etienne Tremblay, and Christie Mae Casey!
