Old Sea Brigade: From Video Games to Intimate Folk — The Journey Behind the Music | Fuegostine’s Music Club
What if your favorite video game soundtrack inspired your next favorite song? This week on Fuegostine’s Music Club, I talk with singer-songwriter Old Sea Brigade about growing up, evolving from teen rock to heartfelt folk, and the stories behind his new EP.
What we cover:
- How gaming and nostalgia shaped his early musical tastes
- Transitioning from rock to acoustic / folk — what changed and what stayed real
- The making of his upcoming EP: inspirations, themes, and creative process
- Reflections on growth, identity, and making music that feels honest
- What it’s like being an independent musician navigating today’s industry
Why this matters:
Old Sea Brigade doesn’t shy away from vulnerability or authenticity. If you love folk-tinged, emotional, cinematic music — this episode gives a deep, relatable peek behind the curtain. Perfect for fans of introspective songwriting and creative journeys.
About Old Sea Brigade:
Life happens between all of the changes around us. We adapt to the ebbs and flows in our environment and ultimately grow in the middle of major milestones. Old Sea Brigade documents the space between those changes in his songs. Atlanta-born and Nashville-based singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Ben 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
He has a new EP coming out in August entitled If I Only Knew, Pt. 2
