Benjamin Booker’s Set Was A Family Affair

Benjamin Booker’s Set Was A Family Affair

I’ve seen Benjamin Booker play festivals before, and it’s always really heartening to look out at the diverse crowd he draws. I guess that Booker has what people would call an “old soul,” which is why the age range at his shows falls somewhere between 7 and 75. There were families dancing in circles during the band’s early rendition of “Old Hearts,” and those circles got bigger and more inclusive as the show went on. At a festival that’s made up of something like 80% people between the ages of 17 and 35 (my wild, though probably not wholly inaccurate, guess), it’s noteworthy when you happen upon the one set that draws everyone in.
