Ben Kweller

Ben Kweller brings his sharp, melodic songwriting back to the UK, drawing on a catalogue that runs from indie rock and power pop to folk and alt‑country. Raised in Texas after an early start with Radish, he launched a solo run built on direct lyrics, guitar‑led hooks and a taste for intimate storytelling. On stage, he moves between electric bite and acoustic clarity, threading together tracks from Sha Sha and On My Way, the self‑titled Ben Kweller, the rootsy turn of Changing Horses and the more charged Go Fly a Kite, with room for newer material. Longtime collaborator and member of The Bens with Ben Folds and Ben Lee, he keeps the focus on craft and melody, switching moods without losing the pulse of the songs.

See Ben Kweller in Bristol at The Fleece, 12 Saint Thomas Street, BS1 6JJ, on 8 June 2026. A night for listeners who like their indie with bright choruses, a folk undercurrent and the unvarnished feel of a songwriter who has grown up on stage.
