Mercury Prize-winner Benjamin Clementine debuts in Vancouver at the Chan Centre, December 13
U.K. musician, poet, and actor performs experimental chamber-pop from forthcoming album Sir Introvert And The Featherweights
Musician, poet, and actor Benjamin Clementine makes his Vancouver debut with an intimate night at the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts on December 13 at 8 pm.
With a haunting voice, incisive lyrics, and piano playing that invokes influences ranging from Claude Debussy to Nina Simone, Clementine is proving himself to be a generational talent.
Raised in London in a strict Catholic household, Clementine left home at 16 and began his career busking on the streets of Paris. From there, he returned to England and released his Mercury Prize-winning debut album At Least for Now. He has since toured with David Byrne of the Talking Heads, collaborated with Damon Albarn of Gorillaz, and been named a Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters by the French government.
For this concert, Clementine will share experimental chamber-pop music from his forthcoming album Sir Introvert And The Featherweights.
Tickets are available through the Chan Centre.
