Title: 9:30 Should book Ben Weaver on his upcoming us tour
Post by: Systolic on March 30, 2007, 11:20:00 am

He is currently touring Europe and will be in the Winnipeg Folk Festival.
 
 I think he'll be starting US dates in May

I'm betting he'd be a better fit for Jammin Java or Iota at this point in his career.
