Benjamin Scheuer, Songs from The Lion

"It's the courage we show, facing things we don't know." — Benjamin Scheuer

Music puts forth a power to tell a story or feeling, or even to understand a story or feeling. For Benjamin Scheuer, a singer/songwriter, guitarist, and playwright from New York City, his one-man musical The Lion bridges his hardships of the loss of his father and his battle against cancer to his resilience and coping through notes that string together to become melodies and harmonies—song. Benjamin performed a handful of performances of his one-man musical just last year (with a few select shows still running at various spaces), but Songs from The Lion, the numbers featured in his musical, is set for release on June 3 via Warner/ADA. Songs from The Lion shares a true and powerful story simply through guitar and voice, especially in "Weather the Storm," "Build a Bridge," and "Invisible Cities."
