Ben Sollee & Kentucky Native

As a master cellist, Ben Sollee has spent his entire career redefining what that instrument can do. The Kentucky native and his band, Kentucky Native, use it to augment a host of genres, most recently bluegrass and classic Celtic sounds. And then there’s Sollee’s actual cello playing — an animated experience that includes Sollee beating, slapping and strumming his instrument to draw unorthodox sounds from it. Don’t miss an opportunity to see him in action.

7:00 PM / Show: 8:00 PM. $17 ($15 adv.; ages 18+).

press release:

Paste Magazine recently premiered the powerful video for “Pieces Of You,” a nostalgic song that places emphasis on human existence and was inspired by Sollee’s real-life friendship with conceptual artist Louis Zoellar Bickett II.
