Bearing a stage name like “Old Sea Brigade,” artist Ben Cramer possibly gives onlookers the impression of a creative with an old, or old fashion-minded soul.

This is only heightened by added observance of Cramer’s often poetic lyricism. Despite the fact that pairing an old soul with the need for low-key, stationary living over the last year seems ripe for producing music of a similarly calm mood, the last thing the Atlanta-to-Nashville songwriter wants to do is deliver a sense of laid back or limited acceptance.

“As far as the energy goes, I definitely—I’m a huge Bruce Springsteen fan—I wanted to try to create something that spoke of that sort of inner turmoil the same way [Springsteen] gets it across in songs,” - Ben
