About event
The past year has been filled with “Meet me in the Bathroom” celebrations and nostalgia for early 2000’s NYC. One of the great gems of that era was Ben Kweller’s cult-classic debut, Sha Sha. As 2023 comes to a close, New Yorkers will have the chance to celebrate the double-decade milestone as BK returns to his old stomping grounds on Saturday, November 18th and Sunday, November 19th.Kweller has built a reputable catalog in the years since his Anti-folk beginnings roaming the lower east side with Adam Green (Moldy Peaches) and the Strokes. He was a live show staple in those days and BK fans have always loved his nostalgic tendencies. That’s why it makes perfect sense that Sha Sha recently received the royal reboot with a triple-vinyl reissue full of B-sides and rarities out now on the NoiseCo label. November 11th also marks Kweller’s first NYC show since the pandemic and more poignantly since the tragic death of his 16-year old son. In March of ‘23, Kweller publicly vowed to carry on with his touring plans in honor of his son, a talented artist by the name of ZEV. Whether you’re a lifelong Kweller fan or someone who remembers that magical time in NYC music history, this is guaranteed to be an evening of great music, one that’ll be emotionally charged on many levels.

BK is back and he’s not the same. Who could be after the heartbreak he’s endured since the sudden passing of his 16-year old son. Instead of hiding away, the beloved indie-rocker is walking through the fire of grief with intention and purpose. This unimaginable journey has led him to his seventh album, Cover The Mirrors, and the accompanying tour which begins on April 15th. “Music has been my savior throughout my life but never before has it saved me as much as it has this past year. My upcoming album, Cover The Mirrors, is a deep dive into my new reality. It’s a collage of my good days and my bad days, my highest highs and my lowest of lows. It's the most personal, emotionally raw project I've ever worked on.” Kweller has been an open book throughout his illustrious career. His songs hold a nostalgic quality that takes you to a time and a place, happy or sad. He’s also one of the rare few who can translate his recordings into captivating concerts that keep his fans coming back again and again. If you’ve never seen BK live before, the Cover The Mirrors Tour is sure to be his most heartfelt and joyous live show yet. This is a chance for old and new fans to come together and witness one of the great songwriters at his creative peak.
