Classi-pop-grass? Ben Sollee's Music Is Immune To Pigeonholing

Ben Sollee, who describes himself as "cellist, composer, storyteller," brings a sweet grace and gritty groove to his diverse mix of styles. Appalachian mountain music segues into blues, a Bach cello suite leads to a Paul Simon cover, then to the bluegrass music of Sollee's native Kentucky.

(Broadcast: "Musicians' Spotlight,"  6/16/16 and 9/22/16. Listen weekly on on the radio Thursdays, 7:30 p.m., or via podcast.)
