DESCRIPTION:Ben Gage is a songwriter from Akron\, OH\, blending folk guitar
  and blues harmonica into a distinctive Americana sound. Since 2021\, he’s
  toured across the US\, Canada\, and Europe\, trading a corporate career f
 or a life built on music\, travel\, and a whole lot more fresh air. His wr
 iting draws heavily from the places he explores and the people he meets\, 
 weaving road-earned stories with a deep love for the outdoors.\nOn stage\,
  Ben invites audiences to settle in as neighbors\, listen together\, and m
 aybe remember not to take life quite so seriously.\nHe has released three 
 full-length albums since 2021\, with songs reaching the top of folk charts
 \, earning international recognition\, and finding listeners around the wo
 rld.\n\n“Folk and blues have always been about passing stories down\, and 
 that’s what fuels Ben’s songwriting\, it’s not just about him\; it’s about
  pulling you into something familiar. The best stories don’t get lost in c
 omplexity\; they just tell the truth. That’s why when you hear his songs\,
  they don’t just sound new\, they feel like something you’ve always known.

 \n\n\nKind Words:\n“Ben is a sharp\, succinct\, inventive\, and insightful
  songwriter\, one who can convey complex ideas with just a few words. Ben 
 Gage is someone who’s been on the canvas and got up to win the fight as he

 \, and acceptance in a batch of songs that feels at once uncomfortably per
 sonal and universally relatable\, as he proves\, he has the heart and soul
  of a champion.” – Alan Cackett\n“A sonorous\, distinctive voice overlays 
 a collection of songwriting vignettes as honest as the day is long.” – Rob
  Dickens\, Listening Through The Lens\n“beautiful and always engaging” – M
 ichael Doherty\n“10 compelling pieces with little in the way of exaggerati
 ng. Each tune has its lasting value” – John Apice\, Americana Highways (in
  regards to “Two Singing Songs”\, 2023 release)\n“This fabulous album hold
 s you firmly in place.” – Mike Davies\, Folk Radio UK (in regards to “Two 
 Singing Songs”\, 2023 release)\n“This is a quietly captivating collection 
 of life’ “highs and lows” interpreted by an experienced everyman.” – Will
