Alternative singer/songwriter Sean Benjamin is known for his smooth and seductive vocals over genre-bending songs that draw influence ranging from Peter Gabriel and INXS to G. Love and Jack Johnson to Wilson Pickett and Dean Martin. 

After cutting his teeth in college bars across the midwest, Benjamin got his first big break on Sirius XM’s Opie and Anthony Show while in New York City for a tour date. Following the appearance, the singer/songwriter partnered with long-time show contributor and producer Dru Boogie to create an epic psychedelic pop album I Exist, that featured the singles “Hypnotized”, “Chain Reaction”, “Love Me Like a Drug” and “Sky Dive”.
 
Promoting the album, Sean toured the United States and United Kingdom, joining lineups featuring bands like Goo Goo Dolls, Howie Day, Red Wanting Blue, Mickey Avalon, Switchfoot, Hey Monea! and Gin Blossoms. 

In 2018, Benjamin released the single “Elaborate” after making his second trip across the Atlantic to perform in England and Scotland again, and for the first time in Dublin, Ireland. 

Coming off of a busy show schedule that included festivals such as ComFest, Millennium Music Conference, and Singer Songwriter Cape May, the touring has been put on pause in 2020, but the music has not. Benjamin is releasing more works including a 3-song mini-EP “Find Your Own Way Out” in late July.

C-level is a high-energy three-piece band with a unique blend of funk, punk, reggae, bluegrass and rock. Their exhilarating sound is driven by the philosophy "Honest Self-Expression is the Path to Good Music" (George F. Hartwig), and that only through music can we surround hate and force it to surrender to the reality of love.

 

          C-level began when Dave (Ziggy) Deitke (guitar, throat) met Coda Crose (bass) at an open mic night in North Olmsted. Upon playing together the two found a sweet sound that could only be produced by their musical union and shared passion for the melding of many diverse musical styles. The two then began to play in various projects around North Ridgeville and Olmsted. One of them being Aberration which featured Dave and Coda both on bass and guitar, periodically during their sets they would switch instruments.

 

          Since 2011 C-Level has been actively playing and recording. C-Level has played everything from house shows, music festivals such as Nelson Ledge’s Winter thaw bash( headlined) Mid-summer samba, Tribal connection, to multiple Cumulus Entertainment raves. Dave Deitke of C-Level leads his mic nights at bars and cafes in cities such as Lakewood, Cleveland, Parma, North Olmsted, Berea, and Olmsted Falls to which he invites C-Level to play at often. C-Level consistently continues to play in all of these types of venues.

 

          Throughout their journey C-Level has gone through a few line change ups as well as gaining a few new members, continually changing and adding a new dynamic.  C-Level is Dave Ziggy Deitke guitar and throat, Coda Crose Bass, and Pat Boland Drums.
