Ben Caplan at The Mack

Thursday, February 20, 2020 - Thursday, February 20, 2020
The Mack 128 Great George St Charlottetown, PE 902.566.1267

Combining timeless melodies with a contemporary folk-rock twist, singer-songwriter Ben Caplan explores the immigrant experience with profound understanding and wry humour on his latest album, Old Stock.

Adapted from the acclaimed music-theatre piece ‘Old Stock: A Refugee Love Story’, Caplan weaves a captivating concept album that reflects on modern issues from immigration to religion to sexuality through his darkly funny and urgently heartfelt songs. The album’s feel is rooted in the folk singer’s resonant baritone voice, supported with the sounds of piano, accordion, organ, clarinet, saxophone, violin, drums, and the occasional banjo and acoustic guitar.
