Ben Caplan and the Casual Smokers return to Grand Forks to open 2016 Concerts in the Garden.

Last fall the Museum organized NDMOA Downtown, a series of concerts at the Empire Arts Center. Opening the series was Halifax-based Ben Caplan and the Casual Smokers. We are pleased to announce the band is back to open the 2016 Concerts in the Garden. 

A charismatic charmer and a smasher of pianos. A madman and an earnest poet. A strummer of delicate chords and a lover of bent and broken melodies. Ben Caplan is not any one thing. Inspired in part by Eastern European and Jewish folk traditions, Ben Caplan mixes older musical sensibilities with his own soul, straight from his hairy heart. Lyrically, you've not heard the like before. Caplan is simply unforgettable; with his huge beard and unruly mane, he is as visually striking as he is aurally compelling.
