“Benjamin Scheuer is New York’s next great young songwriter. His music stirs the soul, his lyrics pierce the heart. He has wit, grace, power, and consistently dips his pen into the deepest emotional well.” -Andrew Lippa

Fresh from his one-man show The Lion at the Manhattan Theatre Club, and a UK tour with Mary Chapin Carpenter, Benjamin Scheuer makes his 54 Below Debut. The New York Times calls Scheuer, “A naturally appealing performer with an ingratiating soft touch,” who plays “reflective pop-folk songs with catchy choruses and just the occasional burst of angst.” He’ll be performing with his band, Escapist Papers, comprised of bass-player/synthesist Geoff Kraly and pianist Jacob Sacks. Don’t miss this incredible evening of acoustic, intimate music at 54 Below.
