Ben Calvert
In the autumn of 2003 Bearos Records released Ben’s debut LP The Leafy Underground, (Recorded by DJ Drive D, Bentley Rhythm Ace), an album documenting a journey through the year. It's rustic, dark, personal and pastoral, and possibly best played when you are the only one in the room. In the last couple of years Ben has played over 60 gigs all around the country, playing his individual Lo-Fi Post-Folk musings at venues such as City Folk at The Heavenly Social, (supporting Radio 2 Award Winner Kris Drever), Anti-Folk night 'blang!' at 12 Bar, and Bohemian Jukebox in Birmingham.
