Hailing from Chicago, Ben Keeler and the 500 Club began in Premier Windy City venues. They also toured the Midwest with their album, Water Water. Keeler is currently working on a new album (to be announced this summer) in his new hometown of San Francisco, California.
Water Water incorporates an array of orchestral instruments, prominent piano segments, and a backing choir component. I find myself enjoying the piano-driven contributions with guitar and horn involvement. Please have a listen to “Slide” and “Warm Warm Water” below.
