Happy snow days, Northwest Arkansas mamas! We’re warming things up today with a rare “win ’em before you can buy ’em” opportunity. The incredible Ben Rector is bringing The Richest Man in the World Tour with The National Parks to the Walmart AMP on Thursday, Sept. 25, as part of the 2025 Cox Concert Series.

The tickets don’t go on sale to the public until this Friday (Feb. 21st) at 10am, but you can win them here on nwaMotherlode before ticket sales open. We’re giving away 4 tickets to the concert scheduled for September 25, 2025. This will be a great way to spend a double date, a girls’ night out, or take your music-loving family!

Standard ticket prices range from $29.50 – $99.50 plus applicable fees, but one nwaMotherlode reader will get four tickets for free. (We always choose our winners using a random number generator, so anyone can win.)

Here’s a sneak peek audio clip of Ben Rector singing “You Are My Favorite Person.” (Wouldn’t it be cool to see him sing this live while sitting next to your favorite person?)

ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Fifteen years after starting his career writing songs and touring in his Honda Accord on the weekends, Rector found himself at home and at the piano in March 2020. The alchemy of life’s big questions, more downtime than he’d had in a decade, and those now all-too-familiar “unprecedented times” resulted in his career album: The Joy of Music.

The project includes a breathtaking short film (featuring seven songs brought to life with stunning cinematography), inviting listeners and viewers to visit a dream world that communicates Rector’s creative process and his reckoning with his job as an artist. He is led through the film’s chapters by his new friend Joy, a muppet monster he created with Jim Henson’s Creature Shop. In this fantastic and dream-like landscape we see and hear Rector overcome a deep-seated fear of failure, dancing and singing his way through the journey of rediscovering the joy of music.

Rector has amassed over a billion streams across all platforms, has performed on numerous late night and morning TV shows including “Conan,” “The Today Show,” “Jimmy Kimmel,” “Live With Kelly And Ryan,” The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and as a celebrity mentor on “American Idol” alongside Ryan Tedder, Jewel, Brian McKnight, Jason Aldean and more. His records have topped numerous Billboard charts, with his last two records landing at No. 1 on Billboard’s US Folk and No. 2 on Billboard’s US Rock and US Indie charts. Rector has built a dedicated touring base, regularly selling out theaters and amphitheaters across the country, including three consecutive nights at the legendary Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.
