Ben Caplan is both the roar of the hurricane and the eye of the storm. He has an uncanny ability to channel both wild abandon and quiet introspection. His songwriting pulls from many diverse influences but both his music and his lyrics regularly draw from his Jewish heritage. Often mixing biblical imagery and klezmer inflected melodies, Caplan re-appropriates ancient sounds and themes with a decidedly contemporary twist.
Ben released his first studio album in 2011, and has spent the last ten years recording music and performing to ever growing audiences in music clubs and theatres around the world. For the ten year anniversary of his first release, Caplan has recorded a retrospective collection of stripped back re-interpretations of songs from across his catalogue. The album, entitled Recollection, will be released in October of 2021 followed by an extensive European and Canadian tour.
with Terra Spencer
Windsor, Nova Scotian Terra Spencer discovered her love of crafting intimate songs while working as a funeral director and touring with country musician Ryan Cook. Since her 2018 solo debut, she has won over audiences in the Maritimes and abroad, marrying fingerstyle guitar, gospel piano, and her butterscotch voice with onstage humour and ease. Terra’s second album Chasing Rabbits is a collection of winter songs about long-distance love, wildlife encounters, and places that feel like home. In a room of 5 or 500, every show is a knee-to-knee conversation with a natural storyteller. "The real deal." - Ron Sexsmith
