Ben Weaver live at Rough Trade East

Ben Weaver

Today I went to Rough Trade East to check out Ben Weaver. He’s a country singer-songwriter as well as poet. His lyrics were witty and poignent. I loved his deep bassy voice accompanied by the crispy sound of the banjo (and acoustic guitar but I only caught one song with that). He previous performed at the Luminaire which Anika attended and wrote a review for and it was nice seeing him play a few tunes at the Rough Trade. At one point he joked around about how the place has a lot of big rats (eep). Like all instore performances, it was short and snappy. I left the store (after some browsing) feeling pretty chuffed that I saw him live.
