Songwriter and recording artist Benjamin Tod has been moving through a period of focused output, building on his instincts and ethos. He recently announced his upcoming LP, Vengeance and Grace where he presents two parallel worlds: There is the (Alone) aspect, which is a stripped, solo-acoustic version of his songs, and they are paired with their full band counterpart. The “alone” version of the track “Vengeance and Grace” is out now, alongside a live video.
The title track is “a study of the duality of his own life.”
He says:
I’d like to believe justice is woven somewhere between the two, which is the usual goal, whether it’s a reward or a punishment. There’s always a circulation in my life trying to balance these, and every verse in the song transitions from one to the other. If I really listen to every movement and line, it can still make me emotional.
Previous singles from the album include “Goner” and “My Pride,” and Vengeance and Grace (full band version) will arrive on April 17th, 2026 via Thirty Tigers.
With the arrival of their first child into the world, Tod and his partner and Lost Dog Street Band bandmate Ashley Mae announced the indefinite hiatus of Lost Dog and the arrival of a brand new touring outfit for 2026: Benjamin Tod & The Inline Six. Beginning in April, Tod and his new honky-tonk band will headline shows coast to coast until October.
