Ben Hardt is in the middle of creating an epic multi-album project called Ben Hardt And His Symphony, which chronicles the story of two lovers in WWII London, complete with a string section and band. The first six songs released are an overview of what promises to be a much larger and more comprehensive album detailing the introduction, separation, and reunion of the lovers, displaying a hopeful story against the backdrop of one of the darkest times in the 20th century.
