Ben Haggard – Born December 14, 1992
The youngest of Merle’s sons, Ben might be the most well-known. Despite his young age, for many years up until Merle’s death, Ben played lead guitar in The Strangers.
Ben’s made a name for himself among his father’s fans and has gained lots of fans on his own. Even before his dad passed away, he was posting videos of himself on YouTube and Facebook covering classic country songs, as well as gospel songs like “Amazing Grace.”
Since Merle’s death, Ben and his brothers finished out their dad’s tour dates and even added more. They actually got some help from their father’s legendary friend Kris Kristofferson.
