Ben Rollins is a musician whose journey from the vast landscapes of the Texas Panhandle to the city of Atlanta has shaped his musical expression.
Growing up surrounded by the wide-open spaces of the Panhandle, Ben found his rhythm as a drummer, contributing to various bands and local projects.
During a pivotal chapter in Ben Rollins' musical journey, he embarked on a short stint in the indie music scene of Portland, OR. Immersed in the vibrant and eclectic city, Ben connected with like-minded musicians and honed his craft in a town known for its creativity. His talent did not go unnoticed, and his band almost signed with a West Coast label, making it close to a breakthrough. However, in a twist of fate, the call of the Panhandle proved irresistible, so he journeyed back home to his roots. This experience not only added a layer to Ben's narrative but also infused his music with a diverse range of influences, creating a mix of indie sensibilities and the gritty texture of the Panhandle that defines his sound today.
When the pandemic disrupted typical daily life, Ben seized the opportunity to explore his own songwriting. Inspired by the introspective and soul-stirring sounds of Ben Howard, the atmospheric beauty of Bon Iver, and the poetic lyricism and emotion of the late Jason Molina, Ben began crafting his own heartfelt compositions.
His upcoming debut album, eachothers, a testament to his musical evolution, captures the essence of his journey. Ben's lyrics delve into themes of time, the bonds of friends & family, and the significance of coming home.
His live performances, a mix of raw vulnerability and captivating melodies, showcase the depth and authenticity of his musical journey.
