Ben Balmer

Ben Balmer, raised in Ypsilanti, Michigan, started his musical journey with the harmonica at 13, quickly adding guitar and performing in clubs by age 16. In 2008, he hit the road, busking across the U.S. before settling in Austin for 14 years. Newly located in Asheville, NC, Ben has been embracing the local scene, performing across the Southeast, playing house concerts and songwriters festivals, and continuing his involvement in the international harmonica community as a Seydel-endorsed artist.
