Lindsay opens the show, dazzling with songs from his new forthcoming LP, Big Stage.

About Benji Hughes

Benji Hughes (Merge/New West Records) is a singular talent, celebrated for his eclectic blend of rock, pop, and lyrical wit. Hailing from Charlotte, North Carolina, Hughes gained widespread recognition with his ambitious 2008 double album, A Love Extreme, a 25-track masterpiece praised by Rolling Stone as “a cult classic” and by The New York Times for its emotional depth and quirky charm. Often compared to Beck for his eclecticism and The Flaming Lips for his pop experimentation, Hughes has carved a reputation as an eccentric yet brilliant and highly accessible artist. His music has reached millions through features in shows like Beverly Hills, 90210, How I Met Your Mother, and Eastbound & Down, and he co-wrote songs for the 2007 comedy Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. Hughes’ collaborative spirit has led him to diverse projects, including a 2011 appearance on Jeff Bridges’ self-titled country album and Meshell Ndegeocello’s Weather. He’s written for artists like Priscilla Ahn, who performed one of his songs on her debut album; he’s made tracks with Kesha and Dirty Nasty, and toured with Jenny Lewis and Jason Isbell.

Whether as a songwriter, performer, or collaborator, Benji Hughes continues to defy conventions, inviting listeners into his world of humor, heart, and melodic genius.
