Dark NYC folkster B.E. Godfrey plays Cake Shop tonight (07.22)

For Ben Godfrey, the sounds of his project B.E. Godfrey have been developing from his work out of the Texan alt-folk band, listenlisten. Both projects can be classified under the folk umbrella, but Godfrey’s latest record ranges from entirely traditional moments like ‘It Was the Wind‘ to more adventurous sounding tracks like single ‘Get Your Gun’ (streaming below). A dark and contemplative sound, the melancholic and lonely side of country, runs through the entire EP, released last year and entitled ‘Wild Desperation’. You can see B.E. Dogfrey this Wednesday at the Cake Shop alongside other other local alt-folk acts Shoshone, Buck Meek, and Tyler Jordan. – Sam O’Hara
