Wasted and Ready

Ben Kweller put on a great show at the House of Blues last night. It was just him, his acoustic guitar hooked up to a distortion pedal, and a piano. And he wasn’t shy with the acoustic distortion. Here’s a clip I shot of the encore:

I first saw Ben soon after Sha Sha came out in 2002 at the long-gone Axis club on Lansdowne. I’ve seen him four times since, and have never been let down. Especially after he added a pedal steel player for his Changing Horses tour. He says he’s got a new album coming out in a few months.
