It was hum more than a few weeks ago when I entered into the infamous Cigalle music hall in Montmartre to watch Ben Kweller. For those of you who do not know him, he is a young and very talented Texan musician and singer who writes all his lyrics that rock and rhythm to every beat. He also apparently played all the instruments for all the songs in his last album – “Ben Kweller”. The Cigalle hall is an intimate venue - we were standing up the whole time and being only 10-15 ft from the stage. Accompanied by his fellow band members he was truly an amazing performer with great live vocals belting out his new album “Changing Horses” and gracing us with some of his previous hits. Unlike the previous album, the songs and melodies on this one was more in the genre of country rock. I only wished there were many more of us in the audience –he deserved so many more thundering claps of appreciation.
Encore! Encore! Encore!
