Ben Gage

Hmmm... another guy with a guitar singing about the things he sees, how do I package that in a new way for you. I have options, I could throw around the accolades, a dash of pomp, a pinch of circumstance, tell you how much my mom pinches my cheeks and says she is proud... The short of it is I love songwriting. I love collecting the stories around the world and seeing how those cherished gifts fit just so into a song. They don't need to be complex, showboat poems. They need to reflect the people and the places they came from. That's my job. I take it seriously, and I love to be able to pass that all along to crowds. I'm good at bringing the listener in, pairing laughter with disaster, and letting the listener know it's ok to feel something (and that their neighbor is too). You deserve more than a copy and paste bio, you deserve a little journey. I'm happy to share the trail.
