Ben Gertner is a singer-songwriter based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
His music is narrative driven, and each song is an emotional journey that shape-shifts across multiple musical styles. He lets the lyrics shape what the song needs to be, which constantly allows for genre-bending. Ben’s writing pulls from fragments of his life and weaves these pieces together to create a layered story that lives within each song.
Ben released his debut album The Room Looked Like a View in 2023, along with a companion poetry book, Rooms/Views, in 2024.
It’s rock and roll, it’s psychedelic, it’s country, it’s electronic…it could only be Ben Gertner.
“This is someone who truly puts a lot of love into their craft and knows how to build a song, create an atmosphere, and put little pieces of himself into his music.“
-The Sounds Won’t Stop
