SUMMARY:Ben de la Cour w/ Elonzo Wesley
DESCRIPTION:Doors: 7pm | Show: 8pm\nTickets: $15\n• 21+ \n  \nBen de la Cour\n“A friend took me to see Ben de la Cour at a little hole-in-the-wall in Nashville. It didn’t take long to realize I was in the presence of greatness. He has much to say\, and knows how to say it as only a true poet can. You owe it to yourself to check him out. He is important. You need this bright young talent now more than ever. We all need Ben de la Cour” \n– Lucinda Williams \nBen de la Cour’s visceral songwriting grabs you by the heart and doesn’t let go. Weaving evocative stories of desperate characters with his signature “Americanoir” sound\, de la Cour shines an empathetic\, raw\, and at times bleak light on the human condition. New Roses\, Ben de la Cour’s sixth album\, is a claustrophobic yet hopeful record that is by turns gritty and bleak and soaring and beautiful\, building to a heart-wrenching story of reckoning and resilience. \nGrammy shortlisted in 2023 for his fifth record Sweet Anhedonia\, de la Cour has drawn praise from critics\, colleagues\, and listeners alike while receiving accolades from American Songwriter\, The Telegraph\, NPR and more. Heralded as a “prodigious storyteller” (Twangville) and “a standard bearer for Southern Gothic Americana” (Folk Radio UK)\, de la Cour has been praised for his vivid and powerful lyrics. “Ben de la Cour is hands down one of the best songwriters around\,” singer-songwriter Jim White\, who produced de la Cour’s last album\, says\, “he’s a true raconteur\, which elevates him to full troubadour status.” \nRaised in Brooklyn\, de la Cour lived in London\, Cuba and across the United States before making his home in the American south over a decade and a half ago. Drawing on inspiration from writers and musicians alike—Townes Van Zandt\, Jimi Hendrix\, Nick Cave\, Nina Simone\, Leonard Cohen\, James Baldwin and Carson McCullers among them—de la Cour’s gothic folk songs are as heartbreaking as they are beautiful. \nhttps://www.bendelacour.com/ \n  \n\nElonzo Wesley\n⚡️ Cosmic Folk.
