Benny Hagerty @ The Sports Mill

Rooted in the heart of Americana, Benny Hagerty crafts songs that feel both timeless and immediate—stories carried by steel strings, raspy vocals, and unwavering honesty. His music draws deep influence from the rolling landscapes of Appalachia and the Blue Ridge Mountains, where tradition and storytelling run as deep as the hollows. Blending poetic lyricism with raw musicality, Hagerty evokes the spirit of the open road, the worn edges of memory, and the quiet beauty tucked within everyday life.
Influenced by artists such as Tyler Childers, Bob Dylan, and Johnny Cash, Hagerty’s sound walks the line between nostalgia and revelation. Whether backed by a full band or playing solo, his performances connect on a deeply human level—telling stories shaped by his travels and capturing the struggles and beauty of the people and places that define America.
His debut single, “Quittin Time,” introduces listeners to his signature style: evocative, grounded, and emotionally rich. A meditation on the end of one journey and the uncertain beginning of another, the song explores the bittersweet nature of change—the tension between letting go and moving forward, and the quiet strength it takes to do both.
With a storyteller’s soul and a troubadour’s heart, Benny Hagerty is carving out his place in the Americana landscape—where truth is sung, and every note tells a tale.
