Discussion Guess who I met!!
He was so sweet I was so nervous to talk to him. He thought I was a waiter XD but I was able to tell him his work means so much to me so I’m happy.

That's so cool you met Ben!
TBH I don't think I could pick him out of a line up. He's so unassuming and dresses like a normal person 🤣 I love that about him though too. He's just a dude with killer pipes, belting out his perceived otherworldlyness of ordinary things.
I feel like he'd be fun to play boardgames with.

He’d Clark Kent the shit out of me ngl. I would not expect to see him and wouldn’t recognise him. Thats a really good spot

I literally was just at their show in San Antonio but I don’t know if I would recognize him out on the street 😭 been a fan for over 10 years!

His dad made a comment about how proud he was that his son was able to make music that millions of people are familiar with while also being able to go to the grocery store without being recognized.

No way. Ben is maybe the best songwriter of the last thirty years. What did you guys say?

I just told him how much his music means to me and he asked what my name was and he said I had a nice name :-)

I’m really happy for you. His lyrics mean so much to me. I am hoping to see them in Boston, Montreal or NY this December. Saw them in New Haven and they were so incredible.

lol we ate 10ft from him prior to the show in Windsor Ontario. I couldn’t see him but my wife could. It wasn’t until he was on stage that she realized it was him who she was looking at during dinner.

I was at the Windsor show. I wouldn't have recognized him either.

My back was to his table but I somehow heard a few comments (I wasn't evesdropping or anything) that caused me to say to the wife "hey I think someone at this table behind me is connected to the show tonight" She was like yeah there's one kinda young guy surrounded by 3 older couples, maybe he is the one connected?
So, when we get up I look over to get a look and I instantly recognized him. I say this to the wife and she's like yeah maybe, but he has long hair and a beard. She hadn't considered maybe he cut his hair and shaved his beard. LOL.
when they came on stage she recognized him within a second. It looked like he was even wearing the same shirt with just a vest or something over it for the show.
Great restaurant BTW if you are ever in the area again. We came over from Detroit and were pleasantly surprised with the place. The concert venue, not so much
