Ben Traverse

Ben Traverse is a traditional folk singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, audio engineer, and member of the  Earthwork Music Collective  with deep roots in Michigan.

Despite not coming from a musical family, Traverse has been drawn to live music since he held his first guitar at 2 years old – a gift from his grandfather. Ben’s real musical journey truly began nearly a decade go with a collaborative after-school program presented by Earthwork Music and   SEEDS   celebrating Alan Lomax’s 1938 folksong recordings of Michigan.

Traverse has spent the better part of a decade cutting his teeth playing listening rooms, festivals, and bars. He’s found his passion steeping himself in the rich history of traditional folk music and using folk music as a vehicle for community, collaboration, education, and environmental and social activism.
