Bachelor Nation might be in love with this season’s Bachelor, Ben Higgins, for his good looks and charming personality, but we happen to love him for a whole different reason, his awesome taste in music! On this week’s episode, Ben took one of the lucky ladies, Caila, on a one-on-one date that ended with their own private concert by singer, Amos Lee! If this is the first time you’re hearing of him, we highly recommend you check out his music. With his silky voice and comforting lyrics on his song “Learned A Lot” it’s easy to see why he’s got quite the famous following. Miranda Lambert is such a fan of the song that she covered it during her Roadside Bars and Pink Guitars tour last fall.

Not only do we love Ben because he loves Amos Lee, but he’s also a big supporter of Red Dirt country band, the Turnpike Troubadours! With their gravely sound and ability to tell a story through their lyrics that reminds us of the classic country tunes we love, we’re big fans of this group as well.

Tune in to this season of The Bachelor on Monday’s on ABC to see if the ladies have the same great taste in music as Ben does and check out some of our favorite songs from Amos Lee and the Turnpike Troubadours below.
