Kentucky-born folks don’t have too many national treasures (There’s the glorious Moonbow at Cumberland Falls, the original Kentucky Fried Chicken). But we do have Ben Sollee, the eclectic singer-songwriter-cellist-biker extraordinaire.
Sollee is known for his crazy touring cycle–and I mean that literally. He tours the country via bicyle, with his band hauling their equipment themselves. He’s just added some new tour dates (which are listed below). He’s also branching into film: Sollee composed the cello-led track “Letting Go” for the upcoming film Killing Season, which stars big-wigs John Travolta and Robert DeNiro as two Bosnian War veterans.
