Ben Sollee
There is hardly a need to define Ben Sollee�s music; it is, by nature, a fluid and versatile thing. He is just as likely to be found performing with a contemporary dance ensemble as with a bluegrass band. Ben�s songs honestly address social issues, faith, and love with a soulful voice that transcends his 23 years. There are hints of influence by Sam Cooke, Paul Simon, maybe Ralph Stanley, but none tie Ben to a singular approach.
Born and raised in Kentucky, the young cellist and singer-songwriter Ben Sollee is changing the way people think of the cello. While Ben has studied classically, his voice and style of playing reflect his connection to American roots music. His cello playing is a unique alchemy of fiddling, percussive bow work, and three-finger style plucking. His performances around the world with artists like Abigail Washburn, The Sparrow Quartet, and Otis Taylor reflect his diverse abilities. |
