Ben Kweller has been in the spotlight for virtually his entire life so its no surprise that at the ripe age of 30, he is one of the most confident and comfortable performers you’ll encounter. At Stuyvesant Oval on Saturday, Ben played a tight hour-long set to a still-arriving crowd and entertained from start to finish. Kweller’s new album Go Fly a Kite is his first record in three years and the quality songcraft evinces maturity while still delivering Ben’s genial and playful side. In the Oval, the set consisted of six of the new songs sprinkled in with a nice overview of his catalog. While he currently lives in Austin, Ben did reminisce about his younger days in Brooklyn and the album that came from that period, 2006’s Ben Kweller — and the set featured three songs from that album including a specific request for “I Gotta Move”. We’re streaming “Jealous Girl”, one of the stronger tracks from the new album and a song destined to be a Kweller classic.

I recorded this set in the same manner as the Blitzen Trapper set and the sound quality is equally superb, with the caveat that there is some crackling in the keyboards (a technical issue on stage) that can be heard during the points where the keys are played louder. With that, enjoy!
