"SongCraft Presents" is a web series in which featured artists write and record a song in the course of a day with host Ben Arthur. Producers Al Houghton and Mike Crehore then take the song and shape it into a polished studio track. Featured artists on "SongCraft Presents" have included Lera Lynn, Ben Sollee, Sean Rowe, Ximena Sarinana, Shara Worden (My Brightest Diamond), Vienna Tang, Steve Poltz, and many others.
"SongCraft Presents" is currently working on a year-long multi-format project, Songs of the Road, sponsored by Ford and produced with the syndicated radio program Acoustic Cafe.
