About this Event
Omaha native Ben Eisenberger is a multi-instrumentalist-turned-folk songwriter, with lyrics that are pensive and delicate, with occasional flourishes that speak to a deep sense of compositional clarity. Eisenberger’s quiet reflections on love, relationships and the relentless feeling of watching others’ lives unfold around you as you float in and out of them are given center stage recalling the existential grace and angst of artists of an older time. Current tour instrumentation will be harp/vocals and piano.
“Eisenberger's voice moves from a high pitch that is reminiscent of at times to lower and warmer registers, but in any case, it always seems to come from the past. Even his compositions come directly from the Greenwich Village of the sixties and just listen to a few notes of his guitar to find yourself catapulted into one of those smoky and a little gloomy places where, thanks to the Open Mic evenings, young hopeful artists from all over the United States performed” - TRISTE on Soloists (2020)

Joshua Stephen Ward is a musician and writer on a mission. Based along the Mobile Bay area, Josh has spent years crafting a style of songwriting that blends the earthy soul of classic 60s and 70s singer-songwriters with a reflective contemporary spirit. His debut album, Becoming, was released in April 2018 and featured 11 fully produced original songs centered around themes of self-discovery, healing, and personal transformation. The record earned regional acclaim, with the late, great Johnny Cole of Southland Music Line calling it one of the standout albums of the year.
After enduring a difficult and transformative season of life, Ward’s work has moved into deeper emotional and spiritual territory. In 2026, he plans to release both a new album and his forthcoming book, Original Life — a meditative and deeply human exploration of identity, healing, meaning, and the rediscovery of the soul beneath modern life. His evolving artistic vision combines introspective songwriting, spiritual depth, and an unfiltered pursuit of what is real.
