Austin’s Ben Balmer Band
Plays the Hog’s Breath Saloon

Austin’s Ben Balmer plays the late-night gig, 10 pm – 2 am, at the Hog’s Breath Saloon, 400 Front St., Aug. 14 – 20.

Influenced by Paul Butterfield, Fiona Apple, Elliot Smith, Aretha Franklin, and Tom Waits, Ben’s songs seamlessly cover a mix of genres, from singer/songwriter to soul to indie rock. His blues harmonica and rootsy fingerpicking showcase songs of the most innate human emotions: the innocence of young love, the loneliness of travel and the dark sides of faith and addiction.
