Ben Treffer

An upcoming singer / song writer, Ben Treffer was born and raised in the wide open spaces of western Nebraska. His roots are solid Americana; much like his music. Ben sings of everyday people, ordinary places and real life events. His simple, yet poignant lyrics speak of home, hard work, love and heartache. A former college athlete, Ben wrote "The Football Song" as moving tribute to his playing days and to anyone who has ever buckled up a chin strap or put on a pair of shoulder pads. Thanks to the internet "The Football Song" has been adopted by numerous high school and college teams across the country, and it remains the unofficial anthem of the Chadron State College football program. Even though he is just a few years into his musical career, Ben sports an impressive resume. He has opened for Emerson Drive, The Boulder Acoustic Society, Jim Salestrom, and The Jim Rice Band. He has frequently performed with Martin Gilmore of the Long Road Home Band. Ben's musical influences include Chris LeDoux, Darrell Scott, Cross Canadian Ragweed and Garth Brooks. An independent artist, Ben's latest CD, "What Would You Do?" was produced by Lunacy Records.
