Ben Sollee is a wonderful cellist from Kentucky who plays all kinds of music not traditionally played on the cello. The Hollow Sessions is a recent free download of covers, including The Zombies’ This Will Be Our Year and Paul Simon’s Obvious Child.
We saw Ben at the ICA last month (through World Music / CRASH Arts) – he’s an exuberant performer, very funny, and worth seeing if you get the chance.
