BEN LEE ANNOUNCES NORTH AMERICAN TOUR DATES:















Ben Lee hits the road in North America in November and December to support his latest cd 'Ripe'. For the 32 city tour Ben will be joined by the Cary Brothers for the whole tour, and singer Kate Voegele for some of the dates. The weird slightly cosmic thing is that I saw Ben on my birthday in Toronto two years ago when he was supporting the cd 'Awake Is The New Sleep', and I'll see him again on my birthday this year in Vancouver (saw Scritti Politti on my birthday last year). Ben always puts on an entertaining live show and the new album is pretty good so I'm looking forward to the show.
