Ben Burnley, Lacey Sturm, and Josh Sturms Sold-Out Acoustic show

USPA NEWS - When the announcement first dropped that Breaking Benjamin frontman Ben Burnley would be teaming up with Lacey Sturm, former lead singer of Flyleaf, and her husband, guitarist Josh Sturm, fans were intrigued. When it was revealed that the trio would be performing an intimate acoustic show, intrigue turned to fever-pitch excitement. And when the tickets sold out within minutes? Well, that was the confirmation everyone needed: this show was going to be something special.

And it was.

A Packed House for a Stripped-Down Set From the moment the doors opened, the energy inside the venue was electric. Fans from across the region poured in, decked out in Breaking Benjamin and Flyleaf gear, buzzing with anticipation. The setting was intimate—far smaller than the arenas these artists are used to—but that only added to the sense that this night was going to be unique. There were no big LED walls, no pyrotechnics, no towering stacks of amps—just three world-class musicians, their instruments, and a crowd ready to absorb every moment. Though the show was billed as “acoustic,” there was nothing quiet or reserved about the energy in the room. This wasn’t a sleepy unplugged session—it was raw, visceral, and emotionally charged from start to finish. Ben Burnley: A Voice That Hits the Soul Ben Burnley, a towering presence both physically and vocally, has long been known for his ability to combine heavy guitar riffs with haunting, emotionally honest lyrics. But stripped of the thunderous full-band arrangements that Breaking Benjamin is known for, Burnley’s voice took on a new dimension. It was front and center, unfiltered, and absolutely spellbinding.
