Band History

Six Bar Break is a full throttle, roots rock trio based in Harrisburg PA.  Helmed by the groups primary songwriter; Ben Bollinger; they've been spreading the word about the band throughout the mid-Atlantic and picking up new fans everywhere they go.

The driving sound of Six Bar Break has been described as a modern fusion of roots, rock, and blues, but still uniquely original. They're constantly pushing to create something of their own. Something built on the riffs, beats, solos. Glued together with a vocal begging to be heard and a story ready to be told.

The band independently released a fresh single the first Friday of every month in 2021 and plans to keep the momentum going on 2022.

Ben Bollinger (Vox, Guitar)
As a musician growing up I was greatly influenced by classic rock and blues guitar hero's. Clapton, King, Vaughn, and on and on. All of them made me find the guitar and start on a journey to craft my own sound. Once I was in my late teens I started writing and recording and honing my craft.

Current Rig: PRS guitars, Line 6 helix and fender amps

Music has been a part of my life since I was a little kid. It's something that people can relate to in any situation. I've played with many great musicians over the years, in all different genres of music. Six Bar Break brings out something new in us all, and I’m ready to see where it leads.

Current Rig: Tone Custom, Saluda & Scorpion Sticks

Robert “RT” Trowbridge (Bass)
Music has always been a way for me to communicate with life and how everything effects my soul. All these years later my influences and the stages I’ve shared have ranged far and wide. We all have something different to offer. I give everything; heart and soul.

Current Rig: Rickenbacker basses, Line 6 helix
