Ben Kweller
Ben Kweller spent his teen years touring around Europe as lead singer and guitarist of self-proclaimed sugar-metal band Radish. Moving to New York at age 19, his solo material caught the attention of luminaries such as Evan Dando and Jeff Tweedy, leading to a record deal with ATO. He has since released three albums and several EPs to critical and commercial acclaim, and has co-headlined tours with Death Cab for Cutie and Gomez. 2009 sees the much-awaited release of his country-rock lp 'Changing Horses'.

Ben Kweller - Sawdust Man
Imagine, if you will, that you suffer the burden of having to find live bands for a barn dance put on for the local indie kids. Now five years ago, when Ben Kweller offered to step up, you were all 'get out of here' in reaction to his uber-earnest folksy indie.
But this year it's a different story; you're blown away by his newfound back-to-boots rootsy rock. It melds piano-plinking Beatles melody with some nice little slide guitar and Waylon Jennings-esque honky tonk.
