Ben LaMar Gay

Recorded at the Zig Zag Club in Berlin over two years ago, International Anthem shares a live performance of “I am (bells)” by Ben LaMar Gay that lends enormous weight to the description of him as an imbued composer, conjurer, and channeler of cosmopolitan Blues.

Ben LaMar Gay’s Yowzers is a soulful journey where tradition meets boundless creativity. Gay blends bluesy gospel, improvisational jazz, and cosmic folklore into something fresh and deeply moving. This eclectic and graceful album, built with immense detail and an even greater heart, unfolds like passing clouds, revealing new wonders with each listen.

Described as a joyfully irreverent psychedelic fantasia of folklore, free jazz, and avant-garde Blues, Chicago composer, improviser, instrumentalist, and musical folklorist Ben LaMar Gay announces his new album and shares the title track single, Yowzers.
