Nashville, TN - Christian country singer/songwriter Ben Fuller surprised the Opry audience by inviting Carrie Underwood to join him on stage for their first live performance together, singing their new duet “If It Was Up to Me.” The track is featured on Fuller’s forthcoming album Walk Through Fire, set for release on June 6 via Sony Music / Provident Entertainment. He also performed his single “If I Got Jesus” as part of an all-star lineup that included Underwood, Ricky Skaggs, Bill Anderson, Henry Cho, Don Schlitz, and 49 Winchester. The special evening was part of the Grand Ole Opry’s ongoing 100-year celebration.

Both songs are a part of the 13-track album, Walk Through Fire, which marks a milestone moment in Fuller’s journey, both musically and spiritually. The record blends elements of rock, classical, and country, and represents Fuller at his most honest and unfiltered.

About Ben Fuller: Music has taken Ben Fuller’s life and made it into something he never would have dreamed. Ben grew up working alongside his father in Southern Vermont on his family dairy farm. He'd pass the time by singing classic country tunes as he witnessed first-hand the hard work and dedication it took to run a farm. After generations of hurt in his family, Ben turned to cocaine and alcohol at a young age. Motivated to change, he moved to Nashville to pursue a career as a country singer in late 2018. A family friend invited Ben over for a meal and then to church the next morning, where the power of God radically transformed him. Today, Ben lives completely sober while sharing his story of hope, redemption, and healing in Jesus’ Name through his songs. Ben was nominated for the 2023 K-LOVE Fan Awards (Breakout Single of The Year - “Who I Am”) and the 2023 Dove Awards (New Artist of the Year). In 2024, he was nominated for the Dove Award for Bluegrass/Country/Roots Recorded Song of the Year (“If I Got Jesus”). His debut single, “Who I Am,” went No. 1 on multiple Christian radio charts, while “If I Got Jesus” has amassed over 56.2M streams as well as 1.7B short form views and 2.3M creations on TikTok. Additionally, Ben has performed at the Grand Ole Opry and the CMA Festival and has toured with Casting Crowns, Zach Williams, Big Daddy Weave, CAIN, We Are Messengers, and others.
