Broadway's Future Songbook: The Music of Ben Caplan | Lincoln Center
Caution: This video contains explicit dialogue
Ben was January's featured writer as part of the Broadway's Future Songbook series at Lincoln Center! As part of the series, Ben's music was performed in concert at the Bruno Walter Auditorium. Through this project, I had the wonderful opportunity of performing alongside an incredible lineup of performers including Tony Award® winner James Monroe Iglehart (Aladdin, Hamilton) Taylor Iman Jones (Scotland PA, Head Over Heels) Heath Saunders (Alice by Heart, The Great Comet) and many more.
All The Hell I Can Get | Bone Blanket
Caution: The album contains explicit text (not the tunes I'm in, but some of them!)
All The Hell I Can Get is the 6th and latest release by Bone Blanket (Jeffrey Pupa). All songs were written and recorded by Jeffrey Pupa in his studio in Somerville, NJ. The album was released July 24, 2020
I added fiddle and viola to ‘Responsible’, ‘Satan Is A Friend Of Mine’, and ‘In Someone Else’s Arms’ (that last one is my favorite :) )
