Gaynor Crawford presents:
Kentucky-based, twenty-something Ben hits The Vanguard on the back of his most recent 2011 album Inclusions. One of the most uniquely talented young artists in acoustic circles today, Ben plays the cello as one reviewer has stated, 'like a rock star'; picking and bowing it so it sounds like any number of different instruments as he compliments his beautiful, soulful voice and wonderful sense of pop melody.
"This guy has it all: the singing, the playing, the songwriting. Here's hoping the world is wise enough to welcome his music with open arms." - Silas House for No Depression
"Cellist Ben Sollee is like Andrew Bird with a little more soul, or Arthur Russell with a bit more bounce." - Lost At E Minor
"Fusing unique instrumentation with a soulful and sometimes playful voice, Ben Sollee defies convention." - World Cafe Live
Diners will be on the ground level directly in front of the stage for this night. Bar food will be available from the bar. General admission tickets will have access to seats on the mezzanine level and standing room in the bar area.
