Teenager Releases 1960s and 1970s Inspired Album

Nineteen year old Ben Cortez wrote and sung a song called Arizona, but it's not the state anthem that you might be used too.
Cortez has been performing music since he was 5-years-old, and now he’s released his first full length album called “In Your Hands.”
The Show sat down with Ben to talk about this collection of original songs that he says were inspired by music of the 1960s and 1970s — even though that was decades before his time.
