9:30 Should book Ben Weaver on his upcoming us tour

He is currently touring Europe and will be in the Winnipeg Folk Festival.

I think he'll be starting US dates in May

"Country-rooted Americana full of weary determination and aphoristic clarity." Jon Pareles, NEW YORK TIMES

â??Not the kind of thing to play on a sunny Sunday morning, but it may be the best thing for a spooky Saturday night. Weaver pulls it off… out on the edge.â? Bill Flanagan, CBS Sunday Morning

"like a hillbilly Leonard Cohen." - Sylvie Simmons, MOJO

musical postcards that recall a rural Tom Waits, or Greg Brown in his dark, bluesy moments. Hes like that spooky old guy who lives in a trailer but tells amazing stories. - Kieth Goetzman, UTNE
I'm betting he'd be a better fit for Jammin Java or Iota at this point in his career.
