Ben Caplan: The Flood

Ben Caplan has always defied easy categorization. With his deep, commanding baritone and electrifying stage presence, he merges the raw energy of diverse folk traditions with modern innovation. Now, with The Flood, Caplan takes his artistry to new depths, crafting an album that meditates on endings, resilience, and the art of carrying wisdom forward.

Scheduled for release in May 2025, The Flood is both timely and timeless. Musically, it’s a collision of past and future—melodically tilted towards the folk traditions of Eastern Europe, the album reinvents these sounds with timeless lyrics and modern production. Clarinet melodies soar over pulsing synthesizers; grand pianos give way to sequenced rhythms.

With nearly 2,000 performances across 27 countries, Caplan’s live shows are known for their raw energy and emotional depth. Experience an evening of contemporary folk music that blends ancient traditions with modern innovation.
