From WABE’s City Caf, hosted by John Lemley

Kentucky musician Ben Sollee has been releasing solo records since 2008. Sollee combines his classical education with R&B and bluegrass to create highly literate and heartfelt songs on his chosen instrument: the cello.

Sollee has a new album out this month, Live at Grocery on Home, recorded in Atlanta at Grocery on Home. WABE’s Myke Johns spoke with the musician about the record and how he got started playing the cello.
