Ben Kweller

Ben Kweller is a singer-songwriter known for his blend of indie rock and power pop. Born in San Francisco, California, in 1981, Kweller's family relocated to Emory, Texas, in 1982, where his father, Howard Kweller, became the town's first doctor. The family later moved to Greenville, Texas, in 1986.

Kweller's musical journey began at a young age when his father taught him to play the drums at seven. The father-son duo would often play songs by artists like The Beatles, The Hollies, and Jimi Hendrix. His father's long-time friend, Nils Lofgren, also influenced his early exposure to music.
