Operatic Tenors/producing artists, Nathan Granner and Ben Gulley are recognized around the world as two of The American Tenors™ from the Sony Masterworks® label. They represent a new variety of accessible classical artists dedicated to the inspiration and education of communities all over the world. BEN GULLEY The up-and-coming American operatic tenor, Ben Gulley has been hailed "as an outstanding tenor...with a voice as seamless as simple speech." Ben's career is burgeoning with lead and feature roles in opera, solo engagements, concert work, film work, nationwide touring, and prestigious appearances abroad. Ben is the 2009 winner of the Metropolitan Opera's National Council District & Regional Competitions and a National Semi-Finalists. Other awards include the winner of the Hellam Young Artists' Competition, Florida Grand Opera voice competition finalist, Richard Tucker Foundation finalist Mr. Gulley's recent slew of noteworthy appearances from Chautauqua, to Carmel, to The Twin Cities are just a taste of what's to come. NATHAN GRANNER Operatic tenor, Nathan Granner is recognized throughout the world as an award winning generative, solo and collaborative artist whose buoyant yet elegant personality shines from the stage. He has performed leading roles at Opera Theatre Saint Louis, Lyric Opera of Kansas City, Wolf Trap Opera, as well as major concert appearances in Russia, Ireland and in the United States. Granner's intense exploration of his voice and the elements of vocal music has taken Nathan from creating Pop adventures to singing authentic Flamenco to classic Turkish styles and has even led him further to study Kargyraa style (Throat or Overtone singing) with a Tibetan Monk. For some, this may seem a bit exotic, but for the contemporary artist, it is basic that one must travel a thousand miles to take one step.
