Experience Righteous Rooster

Righteous Rooster, the project of singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Ben Searles, emerged from the Portland, Oregon music scene in 2015. Initially a solo endeavor, it quickly evolved to incorporate a rotating cast of collaborators, solidifying a distinctive blend of Americana, psychedelic rock, and country influences. Searles’ background in jazz drumming heavily informs the complex rhythmic structures present throughout his work.

His debut album, *Distant Relatives* (2017), garnered critical acclaim for its raw emotionality and intricate arrangements. Subsequent releases like *The Rooster Coop Sessions* (2019) and *Ghost Towns* (2023) demonstrated a growing sophistication in songwriting and production, exploring themes of isolation, memory, and the American West.

Righteous Rooster has toured extensively across the US, sharing stages with artists like Orville Peck and Colter Wall. He's known for captivating live performances characterized by extended improvisations and a deeply immersive atmosphere. *Ghost Towns* notably received praise from publications like Glide Magazine and Saving Country Music for its cinematic scope and lyrical depth, cementing Righteous Rooster’s position as a rising force in alternative Americana.
