Ben Kapland & the Casual Smokers

$18—$50 advance

From the Promoter

Ben Caplan & The Casual Smokers return to Halifax for a special hometown show on the heels of their headlining European tour happening this fall.

A charismatic charmer and a smasher of pianos. A madman and an earnest poet. A strummer of delicate chords and a lover of bent and broken melodies. Ben Caplan is not any one thing.

Now, with a second album under his belt, Ben has already gained a following in more than a dozen countries from Australia to Europe and across North America.

It's no surprise.

Caplan is simply unforgettable; with his huge beard and unruly mane, he is as visually striking as he is aurally compelling. His rough and textured tones cut through crowded halls; an enormous voice, roaring louder than raucous crowds. The microphone looks almost superfluous. But looks are deceiving; once he has your attention, Caplan can croon smoother than a glass of single malt whisky, pouring beauty into a harsh world.
