My name is Ben Bowers, I am a singer/songwriter/producer and I have released my very first EP, Pyramid Scheme! Entirely written and composed by myself and recorded from my home studio, I created Pyramid Scheme to reflect the imagination and thought process our brains travel through to relieve ourselves from both internal and external struggles. I set out to create music that is unique and unpredictable but also accurately expresses my lyrics and mood in the songs and I hope you all can relate ad enjoy my creation. After all, our minds do not resolve issues or stresses with simplicity or clarity, but rather a more frantic system that if not careful, can poison your mind with doubt, allowing our insecurities to dictate our decision making, or worst, feeding us fear in making a decision at all. Which touches on the subject as to why the title Pyramid Scheme for my EP. This term describes an investment system that requires recruiting investors promising high returns but solely relies on additional recruits to pay back those returns and the hierarchy receives the highest profit. Inevitably these schemes lose steam and collapse upon itself. It gibes false promise for success so investors will buy into an idea. Sometimes throughout life we give the people who surround us false promise. Could be false confidence, false personality, or even making them believe you have higher self worth than you actually believe you do. Maybe we this because if we convince the people who surround us we are this fictional character we may forget who we really are. I don't know, maybe. But as people invest their time, conversation, love, or friendship, they will always expect the person you claim to be in return. As time goes on it is a necessity to have more and more people convinced this false reality exists. And although you may be able to play the part, inevitably, your scheme will lose its steam, your efforts will collapse upon itself, and you will still be whoever you were trying to hide. It's this struggle that I want my EP to describe. So whoever you are, whatever Pyramid Scheme you are running, life's a story with many pages and its never too late to change, or be yourself. I know my page number. What's yours? #.

Reservation For Clouds is a two piece alternative band originating from Northwest Ohio whose music pulls influence from an unorthodox mix of pop, rock, and rap. Centering themselves on singer/songwriter arrangements and distinctive lyrics, the duo has no apologies for sounding original.

The two brothers, Ben Bowers (producing, vocals, guitar, and piano) and Eli Bowers (vocals, guitar) have had a shared vision since the band’s infancy. Wanting to establish a standalone sound, RFC was discovered through Ben’s self-taught artistic producing and hunger for original concepts. While also being motivated to bring back the forgotten sound of a guitar, the pair realized they found a rare blend after crafting the first few tracks on their album “Wemmicks”, the band’s 11 song debut.

“Wemmicks” was released in January of 2018, which marked the end of a journey to produce an in-depth project highlighted by the common battle with self-doubt. Diving into the unspoken truth of self-worth, the album connects on an authentic level, clearly stating the people that surround you do not define your ultimate worth.

Determined to deliver on a unique experience through their live shows, Reservation For Clouds is set to tour at length around the state of Ohio in the Spring/Summer of 2018.
