Corner Lounge – Ben Sollee 4/12/13
Posted on by Bob Uehlein

One of our Corner Lounge favorites, Ben Sollee, joined us – solo this time – before opening for Over The Rhine at The Jefferson Theater! Includes a bonus song (“Built For This”) and some additional commentary we ran out of time for on-air!  How awesome is Ben?  He stuck around and joined Over The Rhine for their CL session right after his, and was spotted after The Jefferson show busking outside The Flat downtown!
