About
‘Tom Waits meets Justin Sullivan and Tim McIlrath’ (Source: http://www.er-em-online.de/2025/08/08/review/audio/ben-sommer/)
Raised in a small village in North Bavaria, Germany, singer-songwriter Ben Sommer has settled down in another small village in the district of Kulmbach after living in Göttingen, London, New York and Berlin – full circle.
‘The singer-songwriter navigates confidently between passionate rock ’n‘ roll and fragile melancholy without drifting into clichés. His voice? Rough, honest and always a little edgy, like a friend who talks real-talk rather than small talk.’ (Source: https://paranoyd-magazin.de/2025/05/31/ben-sommer-album-review/)
Ben Sommer plays evergreens by Motörhead, The Offspring, Johnny Cash, Eddie Vedder, Bruce Springsteen, The Box Tops, Social Distortion, Dropkick Murphys,… and also has original songs in his repertoire.
