Ben Gage is a traveling roots troubadour from Akron Ohio whose songs blend folk guitar, blues harmonica, and stories rooted in the honest grit of everyday people. On the road around seven months a year, he spends his time roaming national parks, gathering inspiration from the landscapes, diners, and strangers along the way. His performances balance humor, heart, and connection, engaging audiences big and small.
Ben has played shows across the United States and internationally, earning a reputation for his warm stage presence and ability to turn any room into a listening room.
His album, Roads I Missed was released in September 2025 and is a collection of story-driven songs that trace the quiet weight of decisions, detours, and the things we leave behind. Rooted in raw Americana and the spirit of the open road, the album moves through moments of jealousy, desperation, connection, and longing, always with an eye on the forks in the path. Each track feels lived-in, worn like a favorite jacket, with Gage’s gravel-warm vocals and harmonica leading the way.
“For me, nothing captures a moment the way a song can. I have always struggled to live in the moment, itching to get to the next “thing”, but a song stops me in my tracks. It demands attention and will fall to pieces without it. Songs are my anchors to the now.” (Ben Gage)
