Info for Motivational Speaking

Old Sea Brigade is Atlanta-born and Nashville-based singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Ben Cramer. Cramer captures anxiety, nostalgia, confusion, love, loss, and, ultimately, hope in tender true-life snapshots colored by folk eloquence, Americana bliss, rock energy, and country heart. Motivational Speaking is the new twelve song collection that comes on the heels of a breakout run for Old Sea Brigade, who has been taken on the road by songwriting contemporaries like Julien Baker, Hiss Golden Messenger and John Paul White while garnering over 43 million Spotify streams for his original "Love Brought Weight." Most recently, he released a collaborative EP called All The Ways You Sing In The Dark with regular tourmate Luke Sital-Singh over quarantine, while continuing to expand and rework Motivational Speaking with longtime production partner Owen Lewis. Motivational Speaking will feature nine brand new original tracks in addition to "Day By Day" and the 2020 singles "How It Works" and "Caroline."

"A gentle, wistful meditation on the instinctive tendency to cling to the past rather than move forward to find emotional healing, closure and a new tomorrow, it’s both poignantly sad and yet ultimately hopeful, and, as per the title, to seek and embrace motivation rather than be imprisoned by resignation." (Mike Davies, folkradio.co.uk)
