Old Sea Brigade, the moniker of Nashville-based singer-songwriter Ben Cramer, blends nuanced folk melodies with the atmospheric, ambient textures characteristic of indie-electronic music. Emerging as an evocative voice in the indie music scene, Cramer’s introspective songwriting is both captivating and reflective, often exploring themes of love, loss, and the passage of time. Since Old Sea Brigade's self-titled debut EP in 2016, Cramer has been steadily gaining recognition for his mellow soundscapes and earnest lyricism.

The more recent works of Old Sea Brigade, including "5am Paradise," "Monochrome," and "Stayed Up Late," along with their various versions and remixes, showcase the breadth of Cramer's talent for adaptation and reinvention. His ability to morph songs from their original versions into acoustic, sunrise, or sunset adaptations speaks to his versatility as a musician. Albums like "Ode to a Friend" and the collaborative record "All The Ways You Sing In The Dark" with fellow musician Luke Sital-Singh further highlight the evolving nature of his artistry. Through intimate live recordings, such as "Live at Sound Emporium," Old Sea Brigade invites listeners into the heart of his emotive performances, while acoustic renditions, like "Day by Day (Acoustic)," strip back the production to reveal the raw beauty of his work.
