Indie icon Ben Kweller, the Texas-born singer-songwriter who has captivated the hearts of music fans and critics for over 20 years, will return to Japan for his first tour since the pandemic, performing at Billboard Live in collaboration with Orono (SUPERORGANISM). Ben’s debut album SHA SHA, regarded as one of the great alternative works of the 2000s, celebrated its 20th anniversary last year. Blending influences from 60s rock, 90s grunge, piano ballads, and classic folk, his deft melodies and direct, simple sound have earned high praise. For this Japan tour, he will deliver a special night that can only be experienced in Japan, with his longtime friend Orono (SUPERORGANISM). This rare pairing is sure to spark unpredictable on-stage chemistry. The two's unique, songful performances are likely to be one of the highlights of this year’s lineup.
