haha great song the little half pipe things a little bit retarded and so was the running like if i saw someone doing that i wouldnt film it but whatever
JUST SAW HIM IN CONCERT!! He did an amazing job, and this song was really, really great. I'm serious when I say you should all go see him- he's beautiful!! I told him that. Because men can be beautiful! Thanks Ben Sollee. <3
This guy was going to play at a local concert in Louisville that had some folk musicians from Kentucky that me and my dad were playing at, and I was probably going to see him up close and talk to him or something. BUT NO! A fucking volcano has to go off in like Iceland or some shit and stop flights from coming in to America. -_-
He is amazing, and he goes on Bike Tours. Lugs around his Cello in a pull cart on the back of it. He rode from Lexington to Bonnaroo and played a line of gigs on the way on a bike and then played Bonnaroo, and this Winter he toured the South East of the US and went into Florida on a bike playing shows along the way.
What a joy to watch this video. Ben Sollee has a voice from Kentucky's back hills and a rhythm that makes my blood dance. LOVE IT! He is only better live.
@alienworkshopsk8er50 you should put up a sign saying no dancing. I just can't stand when people abuse a public space for something like dancing. Its not like folks that skate have ever done that.
I got turned on to him after seeing on Kimmel too. How long has this guy been playing for? He has such a great voice and a unique style I'm surprised that I haven't heard of him.
Hey Ben: We just saw you at 3rd and Lindsley in Nashville Sunday night. I told you "your voice took me to another place" and you hugged me and met my 14 year old son (cellist) who couldn't even talk he was so in awe of your talent. Just wanted to say thanks so much for being an inspiration for my son and his girlfriend, they now see the cello in a whole different light. I'm sending your name and youtube info to my whole family so we all can enjoy your music. Tracy from Hendersonville, TN
Ben your solo tonight at Georgia Tech's Ferst Center was AMAAZZZZZZZZZZINGGGGGG!!! It is very rare to hear an applause like that after a performance. You deserved every bit of it. Thanks for the beautiful music. I can't wait to see you on Nov 6th.
Ben, I saw you perform when I was at the Jimmy Kimmel Live taping...exceptional to say the least...you were the highlight of the night...let me know if you're ever in the South Bend, Indiana (or Chicago) would love to bring my wife to a concert of yours, I told her you were absolutely amazing!! Thanks for opening my eyes up to the beauty of your cello.
Ben Sollee, you make me want to sing and dance like no one's looking or listening! Peace

For something like this - a small intimate concert - the names of the all the players should be included in the information area.
I thought the violin player was great.
But I have no idea who she is.
