A full bar serves Bright Ideas Brewing beers and Berkshire Mountain Distillery spirits. Dinner and snacks are available from Lickety Split before the show. His most recent album At Least For Now (2015) has sensationalized listeners with its poignant “declaration of selfhood” ( The New York Times) since the day it dropped.Ĭatch Benjamin Clementine’s spellbinding performance in MASS MoCA’s Hunter Center on Saturday, October 15 at 8:30pm, following the opening reception for Nick Cave: Until. In 2013, Clementine’s song Cornerstone rose to the most shared song on Spotify practically overnight. Clementine’s musical career was sparked by a chance encounter, which led to a recording contract. After leaving school at age 16, disagreements with his family inspired a move to Paris, where the young musician with nothing to his name - including a fixed address - began busking around the Place de Clichy metro to scrape by, honing his public singing voice and persona. “If someone asks me what’s my real ambition,” Clementine says, “I’m an expressionist right, and I want my voice to sound like that violin playing The Lark Ascending.”Ĭlementine’s robust music is wrought with the turbulent odyssey of his past. An autobiographical singer of the poetic tradition, Clementine’s songwriting is ambitious, soulful, and uncompromising in its sincerity - and his piano-playing bears all the hallmarks of unorthodoxy that you would expect from a successful autodidact. With a voice that The Quietus calls “a force to be reckoned with - throaty, powerful, and theatrical to the point of histrionic,” Clementine tugs at every heartstring, one resonant crescendo at a time. Experience Benjamin Clementine’s vocal storm live in the museum’s Hunter Center on Saturday, October 15, at 8:30pm. Clementine’s solo performance was organized by the artist Nick Cave, on the occasion of the opening of Cave’s major MASS MoCA exhibition Until. A once-homeless teen who now has cult status in the French music and art world, he’s on the brink of becoming a global phenomenon.
NORTH ADAMS, MASSACHUSETTS - Benjamin Clementine - the uncategorizable London-based singer-poet, pianist, and composer who won England’s coveted Mercury Prize for his 2015 debut album At Least for Now -has been compared to Nina Simone, Antony, and Édith Piaf for his striking, otherworldly vocal delivery.
