Bernardus
AN OLD, RUSTY BUNKHOUSE…
…northern Nebraska in January. 5 musicians, no heat, a small PA, big ideas. 3 days later, Bernardus was formed. An idea that had been in the mind of lead singer and songwriter Ben Kramer has finally become a reality. Hailing from Lincoln, Nebraska and blessed with a unique name, Bernardus has all the making of an up and coming prodigious band.
Bernardus’ ambient folk rock sound, uniquely paired with lead singer Ben Kramer’s singer/songwriter style of lyrics, brings a tone that is best described as alternative americana through a modern pop lens. Together as a 5 piece, the band recently released their first album; a self titled EP containing 5 songs. The Lincoln Journal Star calls it, “Impressive, from the songs to the performance and the production, establishing Bernardus as one of the best new outfits on the Lincoln scene.
Bernardus will be on an acoustic duo tour starting in the end of September 2016 and will be playing shows all throughout the South, Midwest and Southeast through November 2016. To find a show in your area, visit the “shows” section on the bernardus music website.

Ragged Company
As a three piece band with Adam on acoustic guitar, Ben on electric bass and Dave shredding on cello for nearly nine years, Ragged Company has played just about everywhere you can play around the Benson and Downtown areas of Omaha, NE.
In 2015, Ragged found a beautiful spark and rebirth with the addition of some talented musicians joining the band. The addition of George on banjo and dobro, Brandon on mandolin and Ethan on drums along with Kristen’s vocal harmonies have transformed their existing songs tremendously.
Ragged Company has just finished recording their second album, the follow-up to ‘Time Turns Killer’, which is set to be released in May of 2016. The new album, ‘Brave Mountain Spirit’, is a collection of 11 songs that the band has been fine tuning for the past few years.
Ragged Company is looking forward to getting on the road and sharing their sound with anyone who cares to listen.
