When Ben Rector Needed Fill-in Musicians for his Campus Performance, Belmont Students Stepped Up

Belmont students sitting in the audience of the Ben Rector performance held as part of the Presidential Inauguration festivities on November 3 may have recognized more than just the lead singer up on stage. When one of the bass players in Rector's band became ill before the show, Rector recognized the wealth of talent at the university and decided to invite three Belmont students to fill in the position.

Belmont students Garret Arwood, Isaac Mauldin and Lee Williams were contacted and given only a couple days to learn the chords, each being assigned four songs to perform during the concert. Each of the students rose to the occasion and made a big impression not only on their peers cheering them on from the crowd, but Rector as well.
