Ben Kweller

Ben Kweller rolls into King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut in Glasgow on 10 June 2026 with the blend of indie rock, power pop and folk that’s shaped his path from Texas prodigy to sharp, plainspoken songwriter. First heard in the 90s with Radish, he went solo in New York and built lean, melodic tracks around guitars and a direct, unvarnished voice. On stage he moves between punchy electric cuts and stripped acoustic moments, the vein that runs through Sha Sha, On My Way and his self‑titled album. Expect a set that folds in the alt‑country detour of Changing Horses alongside the brighter hooks of Go Fly a Kite, threading road stories with choruses that land quickly without overplaying it. His collaborative streak, including The Bens with Ben Folds and Ben Lee, feeds a live approach focused on songs first, posture second. Clear melodies up front, dynamics that breathe, and the kind of intimacy that suits a room like King Tut’s: simple, direct and built to stick.
