Ben Caplan is both the roar of the hurricane and the eye of the storm. He has an uncanny ability to channel both wild abandon and quiet introspection. His songwriting pulls from many diverse influences, but both his music and his lyrics regularly draw from his Jewish heritage. Often mixing biblical imagery and klezmer-inflected melodies, Ben re-appropriates ancient sounds and themes with a decidedly contemporary twist.
Ben released his first studio album in 2011, and has spent the last 10 years recording music and performing to ever-growing audiences in music clubs and theatres around the world. For the 10-year anniversary of his first release, Ben has recorded a retrospective collection of stripped back re-interpretations of songs from across his catalogue. The album, entitled Recollection, was released in 2021 and followed by an extensive European and Canadian tour.
