Benjamin Lev "Ben" Kweller (born June 16, 1981) is an American singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist.
A former member of Radish, Kweller has released five solo albums and appeared on several collaborations.
Early life
Ben Kweller was born in San Francisco in 1981. In 1982, his family relocated to Emory, Texas, where his father, Howard Kweller, became the town's first doctor. In 1986, the Kwellers moved to the larger Texas town of Greenville.
Kweller was exposed to music at a very early age. Howard taught Ben how to play the drums when he was seven years old. For the next year, they would play together almost every night after Howard got home from work. Howard sang and played guitar while Ben played the drums. The duo played songs by The Beatles, The Hollies, Jimi Hendrix, and other artists of the 1960s. Howard is also a longtime friend of Nils Lofgren, a neighbor of his. Kweller has mentioned in interviews that meeting Lofgren greatly helped his exposure to music. When Kweller turned eight, someone showed him how to play "Heart and Soul" on the piano and the youngster immediately began to create his own songs using the same chords. By the time he was nine, he had a dozen original compositions under his belt and entered a songwriting contest sponsored by Billboard magazine, where he won an honorable mention.
Ben Kweller is the self-titled third album by Ben Kweller. It was released September 19, 2006 on ATO Records.
One Minute Pop Song
For the 9 weeks leading up to the release of the album Ben Kweller previously took footage of himself and made an internet mini-show called "One Minute Pop Song." Each episode would usually run for 2–6 minutes.
Topics of the videos were varied. Some of the topics were about a fan who sent in a cover version of a song, talking about laying down the tracks and playing all the instruments on the album, showing a tour of the studio, Ben Kweller rating himself on each instrument, telling a story about Neil Young, and talking about how he learned to play the drums from his father.
Recording process
On his Myspace website, Ben described the making of the album as "very exciting, emotional and challenging." He explained that since he played all the instruments on the album it "was a big change for me and it produced something really intimate and special. It's such a different way of working but if you can pull it off it makes a very cool and unique sound." He also described a song on the album, "A bonus for me, and you, is I think I might have written my best song while I was in the studio. It's called 'Thirteen'. It's very personal and almost hard for me to listen to."
Sha Sha is the debut album by Americanindie rocksinger, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and former Radish member Ben Kweller. The album was originally composed of outtakes from sessions for Radish's unreleased album Discount Fireworks. It was self-released by Kweller, via CD-R, in 2000. In 2002, ATO Records released a second version of the album with a radically different track listing featuring many new recordings and songs.

Ben Kweller - In Other Words
Ben Kweller is a singer-songwriter who previously found fame as part of the band Radish. His heartland hooks and folksy flourishes made fans out of several artists, and Kweller soon found himself touring with the likes of Juliana Hatfield, Guster, Kristin Hersh, and Evan Dando.
His debut album is easily my favourite of them all (and they are all really good!). This song really shows his skill in songwriting and song composition. A real favourite of my kids, my wife and myself. This is for them... x

Benjamin Lev "Ben" Kweller (born June 16, 1981) is an American singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist.
A former member of Radish, Kweller has released five solo albums and appeared on several collaborations.
Early life
Ben Kweller was born in San Francisco in 1981. In 1982, his family relocated to Emory, Texas, where his father, Howard Kweller, became the town's first doctor. In 1986, the Kwellers moved to the larger Texas town of Greenville.
Kweller was exposed to music at a very early age. Howard taught Ben how to play the drums when he was seven years old. For the next year, they would play together almost every night after Howard got home from work. Howard sang and played guitar while Ben played the drums. The duo played songs by The Beatles, The Hollies, Jimi Hendrix, and other artists of the 1960s. Howard is also a longtime friend of Nils Lofgren, a neighbor of his. Kweller has mentioned in interviews that meeting Lofgren greatly helped his exposure to music. When Kweller turned eight, someone showed him how to play "Heart and Soul" on the piano and the youngster immediately began to create his own songs using the same chords. By the time he was nine, he had a dozen original compositions under his belt and entered a songwriting contest sponsored by Billboard magazine, where he won an honorable mention.

Ben Kweller is a singer-songwriter who previously found fame as part of the band Radish. His heartland hooks and folksy flourishes made fans out of several artists, and Kweller soon found himself touring with the likes of Juliana Hatfield, Guster, Kristin Hersh, and Evan Dando.
His debut album is easily my favourite of them all (and they are all really good!). This song really shows his skill in songwriting and song composition. A real favourite of my kids, my wife and myself. This is for them... x

I do not own these recordings. I'm simply sharing them as they deserve to be heard by a much wider audience.
Sha sha Sha sha Yay yay Yay yay Sha sha here comes my thrill Oh the ya-sha please keep still Don't talk too much & kill my chances with this guy Sha sha now go & play This is your sisters day Don't give my age away & make him say goodbye Oh ya-sha don't tell him I'm old He thinks pop has lots of gold Told him that momma's got a chauffeur & a car Sha sha now you'll get hung If you don't hold your tongue Till wedding bells have rung ya-sha sha sha My next door neighbors daughter Is really in hot water Because she has a brother whose a brat When someone comes to court her & gives the kid a quarter he spills what he should keep under his hat She cries & tries to put him wise to what it's all about And every night the neighbors hear her shout, oh hear her shout Sha Sha Oh voice keep still Sha sha Here comes my thrill don't talk too much Won't you please be still Oh we will be still Oh sha sha ya-sha Won't you let me pull my bluff Cause I told him that my mami had gold in her piani & her pot Oh sha sha sha Oh ya-sha please be kind He's the last in line What a glorious feeling
