Ben Caplan – 2 Meter Sessions

Four Sessions. One Extraordinary Journey.Across four sessions recorded between 2012 and 2023, Ben Caplan - 2 Meter Sessions captures the evolution of the Canadian singer-songwriter through a series of previously unreleased live studio performances.Together, these recordings trace the evolution of his songs, arrangements and approach to live performance - from the energy of a full band to the intimacy of a duo and the freedom of performing solo. Each session reveals a different side of the artist, preserving moments that might otherwise have disappeared into the past.Recorded live in historic Dutch studios, these sessions capture the performances in exceptional audio quality. With ever-changing line-ups, unusual instrumentation, unexpected collaborations and Ben Caplan's unmistakably powerful voice at the centre, the collection showcases the intensity, versatility and sheer presence that have made him such a compelling live performer.At the heart of the album is something uniquely precious about live music: the knowledge that a performance happens once, then becomes part of the past. These recordings bring those moments into the present, allowing us to hear not only how the songs changed, but how Ben himself changed with them. Four sessions, more than a decade, one extraordinary artist - moments that feel alive all over again.
