Benjamin Booker Performs For Seth Meyers

BENJAMIN BOOKER ON LATE NIGHT WITH SETH MEYERS TONIGHT

SUMMER FESTIVAL PERFORMANCES AT SASQUATCH, GOVERNOR’S BALL, PRIMAVERA SOUND, BONNAROO + MORE

This spring Benjamin Booker has already left many an audience in his guitar-strewn wake: A European tour, two Coachella sets, sold out shows at New York’s Music Hall of Williamsburg and LA’s the Roxy – and he’s just getting started.

Tonight he’ll be taking his blues-tinged punk and roll to Late Night With Seth Meyers where he’ll perform the track “Wicked Waters”. This appearance kicks off a summer of sets at the Sasquatch Festival, Bonnaroo, Firefly, Outside Lands and more, including NYC’s Governor’s Ball and headlining a Governor’s Ball After Dark show at Irving Plaza on June 4^th. A full list of his upcoming dates is listed below.

Booker also recently released an extended music video featuring the tracks “Slow Coming” and “Wicked Waters” titled “The Future Is Slow Coming”. In it Booker moves through a single day multiple times on a loop. Ann Powers at NPR Music describes the short film as “a kind of mash-up of Selma and Beasts of the Southern Wild, with Booker as an unwilling time traveler drawn into an incident of racist violence recalling both the segregated Deep South and current controversial police actions.”
