Ben Gage
Ben Gage is an Americana musician from Akron, OH. Ben Gage grew up in the rust belt of Northeast Ohio, spread out in the countryside along the great Lake Erie. His roots run deep alongside the hard working blue collars that Ohio has to boast. That tenacity, love of family, and respect for a long day can be seen in his music. In Fall of 2021 Ben quit his job in the tech-sector to pursue music full time. Now he travels the US sharing stories and songs and always collecting more.
Folk and Blues music gives us a way to hand along a story, and it’s what fuels Ben’s songwriting and the reason he includes the listener. The best story sets aside the complexities and focuses on honesty. You will find yourself feeling as though you’ve heard his songs before even if it’s your first time.
To him music has always been a social endeavor. When not playing solo he has The Ben Gage Band, including Dan Socha (Guitar), Brant Novak (Upright Bass) and Spencer Cindia (Drums).
Buffalo Rose
Buffalo Rose is a wildly charismatic six-piece modern folk/Americana band from Pittsburgh, PA. They take the singer-songwriter tradition to a new level by crafting original songs which are emotive, meticulously arranged, and inspired by a world of idiosyncratic influences that never let a dull or predictable moment creep in.
Jeff Tobin
Jeffrey Forrester Tobin is a singer-songwriter from Columbus, Ohio with a penchant for writing humorous, quirky lyrics, often with a sprinkling of social commentary. His approach to songwriting guarantees him zero chance of pop radio stardom, but for people looking for a fun, momentary escape from the pressures of life, he’s just the ticket. A unique voice in the Columbus singer-songwriter scene, he has garnered top honors at the Ohio Music Awards, the Columbus Bicentennial Song Contest, and he performs regularly at clubs and festivals throughout Central Ohio.
