MUSIC
Ben Glaros
Ben Glaros’s music is that of the familiar: songs about falling in and out of love; shoutouts to familiar
local uptown hotspots like Spyhouse Coffee and the Mayday Cafe; a folk rock blend that includes harmonicas, cellos, and
mandolins; and a stint in the local indie pop rock
scene since the mid 1980s. In his debut full-length album, Lovesong Roulette, Glaros proves the preeminence of the familiar as he teams up with other local
greats, including Michael Ferrier and Greg Schutte. Enjoy his music this evening as he warms the stage for Phil Solem, one half of the sensational Rembrandt’s, and Fran King and Duncan Maitland (on tour from Ireland). —KM
