If you have ever seen Ben Sollee perform live, then you know that he really shines in that setting! If you haven’t seen him live, then this album will give you a taste until you can make a show. And Ben has something extra special for you with his first live album, LIVE at The Grocery On Home. He has teamed up with Kentucky’s newest artisan letterpress, Hound Dog Press, to create a stunningly beautiful album. You can see more about it here:

You can Pre-Order the CD or download.  But you are going to want the physical copy! If the video above didn’t convince you that you need to hold and touch the beautiful work of Hound Dog Press, maybe the extra gift CD included will.  That’s right. When you buy the CD, also included is a second copy that you can give away to a friend! We are having a contest on Ben’s facebook page right now, too. Share who you would give your gift copy to and why. The 5 most compelling stories will win a free CD!

You can also catch Ben for the CD release on May 1st 7pm at Heine Brothers at Eastern Parkway/Bardstown Rd., an event made possible by Mom’s Music. Ben’s Live album will only be sold through Heine Brothers or online.  Most of the songs will be familiar to fans, with the exception of Turn On The Moon. That song first made an appearance on Ben’s first independently released solo album of the same name.

Ben Sollee ⋅ Australia, Music, Tour ⋅ , , , , , , , , , , ⋅

Ben embarked on his first tour of Australia in March 2012. His three weeks there were filled with music festivals, beautiful venues and making memories with new & old friends. Ben even found a new Patagonia store in Sydney and played an in-store that was also broadcast through StageIt.com. Ben has a long standing partnership with Patagonia and has enjoyed other in-stores at their headquarters in California. Ben had a great interview on The Music Show with Andrew Ford that talked about Ben’s ‘fresh techniques and songs that matter.’

After a performance like the one at the Port Fairy Folk Fest, where Abigail Washburn and Krystle Warren joined Ben on stage, the word started to spread. The end of his tour included sold out or nearly sold out shows and they were trying to entice Ben back by selling him on a “Ditch The Van” tour, Australian style.
