Benjamin Olson has a unique style of blending Americana and Folk instrumentation with Pop/Rock songs. His distinct voice soars over lyrics which lend an interesting perspective to the ups and downs of the human condition.
Originally from Green Bay, WI, Benjamin moved to Nashville in 2003 where he has been a big part of the music scene to this day. In 2005, after the release of his first album, "White Window", Olson was awarded the honor of "Best Male Solo Artist" by Nashville's rock radio station 102.9 WBUZ. In 2007, he released his second album, "Sun Will Shine", which glides between multiple genres and gives a final message of hope. In 2008, "The Cold October EP" was released online through www.benjaminolson.com and is available now for download. Just visit WWW.BENJAMINOLSON.COM, click on the Vault, and download your copy today!
Currently Benjamin Olson is touring in support of his albums and building the knowledge of his music throughout the world.
