Acclaimed singer, songwriter and musician Kendell Marvel’s new song, “Hell Bent On Hard Times,” is debuting today. Watch a live performance video HERE.

Of the song, Marvel reflects, “I wrote ‘Hell Bent On Hard Times’ with Dean Alexander in the height of the pandemic via Zoom. We wrote it through the eyes of a man who has accepted who and what he is and is content with it. It’s one of my favorite songs I’ve had a hand in writing in a long time.”
