Ben Kweller plays his first show following his son’s death.
Ben Kweller was four songs into his set Friday before pausing to address what loomed heavy over the night."I was really on the fence about doing this ... Dorian loved all of you," he said. Before launching into"Make It Up," he recalled that the"sick modulation" on the song made it one of his son's favorites.
The showcase for the Noise Company – Kweller's independent music co-op – became a celebration of life. Posters of Dorian's face greeted attendees. A tribute video kicked off the show in the time slot that he, himself, should have. An unusual number of X'd hands – friends from Dripping Springs High School, where he attended – bobbed through the air.
It was stunning to think about what it takes for a grieving father to mount a stage he should have shared with his son, without him. Still, I have been resisting writing about strength, which, sure, seems like a good word for it. In fact, I posted a video of Kweller on social media playing"Falling," calling the whole set"an incredible act of strength." I won't use it anymore.
