Songfacts Podcast: Old Sea Brigade

Some of the best songwriters have very imperfect voices - Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen come to mind. We found another: Ben Cramer, who goes by the name Old Sea Brigade. Here's a lyric from his song "How It Works," which he performs on this episode:

Now I can look at the scars

And not think of the knife

Spotify listeners know Ben from his 2015 song "Love Brought Weight," which made a bunch of their playlists, including "The Most Beautiful Songs In The World" and "Lush & Atmospheric." On May 14, 2021, he'll release his second album, Motivational Speaking, which includes "How It Works." We spoke with him about his musical journey, his songwriting philosophy, and what wows him about Tom Waits.
