This album will make you dance, make you listen, make you think, and make you smile!

Dreaming Big touches on many themes and experiences. "Under A Spell," "Amazed," and "Ocean of Love," are love songs that reminisce upon the wonders of falling in love. "That's How It Goes" answers back, reflecting on the the pain and anguish of heartbreak, while realizing the promise of new opportunities on the horizon. "Traveling On"and "Far From The Eye" talk of rambling, wanderlust, and the lure of traveling. "Till I Dig My Grave" tells the plight of hard working folk who have to make sacrifices to make ends meet. "Turn The Tide" is politically and socially charged. One of the two main choruses states emphatically, "The world needs more love to get by." "Share The Dream" is a peace song that calls on people to come together and change the world. "When We All Come Home" tells the story of a beautiful home that served so many, only to be ripped and torn apart by a storm. The song was inspired by his great aunt and uncle's house that was destroyed by Hurricane Sandy. The final song, "The Road Goes On," looks back upon life, reliving its joys, and sorrows, its fortunes and hardships. The chorus evokes a kind of mystical nostalgia: "Time is a strange little child, playing with our lives, fitting pieces of the puzzle in place, which we cannot replace."

Each song has a uniquely different sound. The album's first track, "Under A Spell" has a funky, hypnotic groove with a monstrous horn section. It features enticing backup vocals by twin sisters, Cheryl and Steph Spinner, as well as the raspy, salacious trumpet work of Sean D'Antoni. "That's How It Goes" is poppy and upbeat, with many layers of harmonies to back Wilton's lead vocal, and a dazzling sax solo taken by Andy Demos. "Turn The Tide" has a big, fat sound with riffing electric guitars, reminiscent to 90's alternative rock. "Traveling On" features soaring, rhythmic acoustic guitars backed by a driving rhythm section and Marty Schmidt's melodic organ. The horn section returns on "When We All Come Home" along with a riveting and spirited performance from the entire band. "Amazed" has a jazzy, poppy, acoustic feel, and features call and response vocals from Ben and special guest, Chloe Demos. "Share The Dream" begins with the full band, but then thins out to only Ben singing along with his acoustic guitar. The band gracefully returns layer by layer, and this track features Laura Dubois' beautiful piano as well as Wilton's heartfelt singing. "Ocean of Love" is laid back and romantic. With its bossa nova-esque rhythms and Josh Mayes' cool, groovy bass, the song whisks you away to a tropical beach. Ben wrote the tune while he was in Costa Rica. "Till I Dig My Grave" is darker in nature, featuring bluesy guitar and bass riffs. The bass was played by Wilton's cousin, Cory Pula Bowers, and Wilton plays a haunting melodica, which adds an interesting layer to the mix. "Far From The Eye" rocks and Dreaming Big concludes with a nostalgic, thought evoking tune entitled "The Road Goes On."
