Ben Spivak - Streaming Live From The Hotel Cafe

Ben Spivak has always loved playing in bands. Most notably he is a member of Canadian pop-reggae band Magic! who have achieved an astounding amount of worldwide success since their breakout hit “Rude,” which spent 6 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. A look at some of their accomplishments include talk show appearances (Kimmel, Fallon, The View), TV Specials (Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin Eve), Awards shows (American Music Awards, Latin Grammys), collaborations (Wyclef Jean, Shakira, Marc Anthony, Sean Paul), hit songs (“Rude,” “Lay You Down Easy,” “No Way No,”), festival performances (Pinkpop!, Rock in Rio), as well as touring with Maroon 5 and earning over 3 billion streams online.

At the same time, Ben has begun releasing his own music. In the last 3 months he has released 3 singles, “Come A Day,” “Energy From The Past,” and “Older,” and he plans to continue this trend in April with his next single “Angel Fire.” “A song a month verses an album a year or every 2 years creates growth and a connection and allows the audience to discover an artist piece by piece. It’s a very exciting way to be releasing music today!”

Equal parts Rolling Stones and Grateful Dead, Fleetwood Mac and Allman Brothers, classic bands who put just as much love in to their songs as their live performances, Ben Spivak’s concerts are musical, malleable, and meaningful. It’s musicians playing music. Organic, spontaneous, and always a party, both Spivak’s songs and his live performances are a place to be yourself, make friends and get lost in the music.
