Ben Caplan

The Park Theatre, is now in its seventeenth year of operations and has grown into one of Winnipeg’s premier live event venues. With over 300 events a year spanning music, comedy, theatre, and film, the room has become home to an expansive community of artists.In 2014 The Park Theatre was awarded “Venue of the Year” at the Western Canadian Music Awards, after being nominated for the same award in both 2012 and 2013.The venue itself is a renovated movie theatre that opened in the fall of 1915. While many of Winnipeg’s neighbourhood theatres have been demolished or “repurposed” into bowling alleys or retail stores. The Park managed to hold out for 73 years before fate caught up with it.  After sitting vacant for nearly a decade it was revived into what is now one of Winnipeg’s most popular live music venues.With its high-quality sound, great atmosphere, two full-service bars, and premier live entertainment from local acts to international touring artists, it’s no wonder that artists and audiences alike keep coming back.

Winnipeg Folk Festival Presents Ben Caplan

Ben Caplan is both the roar of the hurricane and the eye of the storm. He has an uncanny ability to channel both wild abandon and quiet introspection. His songwriting pulls from many diverse influences but both his music and his lyrics regularly draw from his Jewish heritage. Often mixing biblical imagery and klezmer-inflected melodies, Caplan re-appropriates ancient sounds and themes with a decidedly contemporary twist. Ben released his first studio album in 2011 and has spent the last ten years recording music and performing to ever-growing audiences in music clubs and theatres around the world. For the ten-year anniversary of his first release, Caplan has recorded a retrospective collection of stripped-back re-interpretations of songs from across his catalogue. The album, entitled Recollection, will be released in October of 2021 followed by an extensive European and Canadian tour. Tickets are available at the Winnipeg Folk Festival Office, or online through TicketMaster
