For millennia, travelers have used the stars to find their way. On his tenth studio album, Constellations, Benjamin Wagner uses songs to find his.

After twenty-five years, he left the bustling streets of New York City for the leafy suburbs of Wilmington, Delaware, and left his well-worn multi-hyphenate identity behind. Wagner found his old self lost in a new place.

Searching for purpose in his adopted hometown, Wagner leaned into songwriting, unearthing the long-held secrets, deeply buried stories, and hard-earned life lessons captured on his tenth studio album, Constellations.

“Music has always provided me signposts," he says. "Some sense of where I’m going next.”

Those signposts pointed South, where Wagner wrote and recorded much of Constellations.
