Ben Caplan & The Casual Smokers
Ben Caplan is known as a musical poet who, with his extraordinary sensitivity and affection for the piano, can move thousands of hearts. His compositions drift between East European fascinations and Jewish folk traditions. Instruments such as clarinet, banjo or piano appear in the foreground of Caplan's works. You can not miss the raw and deep vocal of the Canadian, which evokes authentic and countless emotions in the listener. Ben's work, which consists of original instruments and a powerful voice, certainly creates a beautiful and picturesque reality. Hiding behind a thick, long beard and lush hair Caplan has two long-lasting albums. "In the Time of the Great Remembering" released in 2011 and "Birds With Broken Wings" from 2015 are the results of his tedious and hard work. Ben began to devote himself to music at the age of thirteen, and at the age of nineteen, he decided that his career would gain independent momentum. Currently, the artist performs with The Casual Smokers, thus providing fans with even more dose of musical experience. The blues-folk song "Down To The River" or the subtle ballad "Drift Apart" are pieces that undoubtedly evoke extraordinary memories of the present fans of a charming bard with a guitar, but also draw the attention of future lovers of its unique sounds.
