"“Roots” came to me when I was early into a relationship. It’s about the feeling you get when you take your sweetheart for a ride through your hometown and tell stories about how you got to the moment you’re living in. Each line has a reference to my real-life experience and tells a little bit more about myself. " - Ben Davis jr.

This past year, the movie Holler licensed one of Davis’s song from his album Suthernahia for the official soundtrack. Holler, which was filmed in Chillicothe, Jackson, Bainbridge and Wellston, was created and produced a local Ohio woman who asked around about who she should get in contact with about music before eventually being led to Davis.

Earlier this year, Ben Davis Jr. and the Revelry performed three tracks off of their deceptively-easy-to-pronounce album, Suthernahia in WOUB’s Radio A.
