A music student since the fourth grade, Ben Holsclaw found his true musical calling around age 11 when his older brother, Kurt, brought home a copy of Iron Maiden’s Live After Death. Music went from being a hobby to a near obsession. In the years that followed, Ben switched from trumpet to the guitar. His musical drive continued through his school days and beyond.After being in bands in high school and college, he helped form Reno’s Tasty Red Snapper. TRS was noted for its high energy performances and its ability to put together songs that the band members liked, with little regard to what its fans thought. Fortunately, though, the fans took to it as well, and Tasty Red Snapper became a fixture in Northern Nevada for about 8 to 10 years, depending on who you ask.
Finally, around 2003, the great fish gasped its last breath as various band members moved on with their lives, and Ben was a musician without a band.
Over the next few years, he wrote music. A slight departure from the Tasty Red Snapper sound, this new music was, cliché as it sounds, a return to roots. He named the new “band†Echopeople and began to record. Finally in 2007, with some help from former band-mate Chris Finley behind the mixing board, Echopeople’s debut release, A Soldier’s Fortune, was completed.
The release of A Soldier's Fortune makes the 35 minute EP available on CD as well as in digital music stores iTunes USA, Canada, Europe, Australia, Japan; Rhapsody, and Napster.
