Letter from Ben….

Hello Friends,

I want to start off with a huge high-five for all the support through the release of the live record and my ride from NYC to DC as part of the 2012 Climate Ride. With your enthusiasm we’ve raised over $2500 for Kentuckians for the Commonwealth and motivated me (despite a bad bike wreck that totaled my bike and nearly me) to ride over 330 miles to the National Mall in front of Congress. If you wanted to support the cause but didn’t get around to it you still can! Just head over to my Climate Ride profile.

For those of you that made it out to shows in May I hope you had as good a time as we did. Every show was exciting and different and you all in the audience were so rocking! Now, Jordon Ellis and I will direct our dear tour van Tammy north for shows beginning next week. Are we coming through your community? Check out the tour calendar and get your tickets in advance to these intimate venues. Plus, the shows are pretty much the only place to get the limited edition printing of Live at the Grocery on Home unless you order it here.

There’s lot of cool happenings on the horizon! Our biggest hurdle is letting folks now where and when we are. If you want to have some fun and spread the word you can download the tour poster directly from the website and hang it up in your favorite spot in town. Snap a picture of your handiwork and email it teamsollee@bensollee.com and we’ll make sure that you get a $5 voucher for the merch table at the show you attend! Come on, you know there’s a primo spot in your favorite coffee shop that could use a little decoration.

 

Again, thanks for all the support. We’ll keep coming if you do!
Ben

THE ROAD FROM NEWPORT… look for two-wheeled details coming soon!

You help us and we give you free stuff!

We have been overwhelmed with how supportive and generous the fans have been when asked to help promote Ben’s shows! THANK YOU!! We want to keep it going and have come up with a Team Sollee reward system to help show our appreciation.  This is how it works:

1. If Ben is coming to your town and you want to help pack the house, then email us at teamsollee@bensollee.com.  We will send you a poster that you can either print to hang around town or share electronically.

2. Show us…if you hang a poster, take a pic and send it to us or post it on Ben’s facebook page and/or tweet it. If you share it via facebook, make sure it is ‘public’ and tag Ben in the post. If you tweet about it, tag Ben (@bensollee).

If you do those simple things, then we will send you a $5 merchandise voucher!!

And if you are especially eager to help and want a free show ticket for yourself and a friend, then you can volunteer to work the merch table!!

Ready? Set? Goooooo!

Jessica,
Team Sollee
