Ben Caplan

Ben Caplan is a Canadian singer-songwriter and artist known for his energetic performances and award-winning studio recordings. On a perpetual tour since 2011, Ben has performed nearly 2000 concerts in 28 countries. His 2018 project, "Old Stock," was both an album and a highly acclaimed musical theater production that toured the world, including a 7-week Off-Broadway run that earned him 6 Drama Desk Award nominations, a NYTimes Critic’s Pick, and many other international accolades.

His new project, "Hold On!," is a diverse cycle of songs with a brand new group of collaborators. Blending old-world folk traditions with electronic instruments and sound design, Ben Caplan and the band have created a futuristic nostalgia with one foot in the past and the other stretched over the abyss of the end of the world. The show, with its energetic frenzy and moments of unexpected tenderness, lives somewhere between theater and music. It’s a kind of cabaret to cry and celebrate the end of the world.
