# Event Details - **Event Name**: Ben Reel ~ Spirit’s Not Broken - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 11 Sep, 2026 at 09:00 pm – Fri, 11 Sep, 2026 at 11:00 pm (+01:00) - **Event Description**: Album LaunchAbout this EventEach of Ben Reel's albums carries an undercurrent, and his twelfth studio album, Spirit’s Not Broken, is no exception. In a world gripped by conflict, climate anxiety, and suffering, it’s easy to feel powerless. Yet this record reaffirms a timeless truth – the power of love and human connection.Musically, the album begins with raw rock energy before flowing into soulful, R&B-infused grooves, evoking echoes of Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, Van Morrison, and Sting. The result is an uplifting and deeply human work ,both urgent and timeless.Ben Reel began his music career in 1989 at the age of 17 with his first band, Promised Land, later renamed Trim the Velvet. Formed at Crossmaglen High School during the Troubles, music became an escape from an abnormal reality. The band gained a reputation as a powerful live act across Ireland before disbanding in 1997.Reinventing himself as a solo artist, Ben released his debut This Is the Movie in 1999. Since then, he has built a rich body of work across genres, blending rock, folk, soul, and reggae. Critics have drawn comparisons to Dylan, The Band, John Hiatt, and even dubbed him “the Irish Springsteen.” His distinctive voice has also been likened to Roy Orbison, yet Ben Reel remains unmistakably his own man.Over a career spanning more than 35 years, Ben has earned widespread acclaim and appeared on BBC, RTÉ, NPO Radio and more. He has supported and collaborated with artists such as Jools Holland, The Cranberries, Hal Ketchum, The Blockheads, David Olney and Nanci Griffith. In Nashville, he recorded The Nashville Calling (2020) with Will Kimbrough and Tommy Womack, featuring E Street Band’s Garry W. Tallent ,an album that reached No. 1 on the Euro Americana Chart.This decade alone, Ben has released four studio albums, including Locked in & Live (2022), Come a Long Way (2023), and now Spirit’s Not Broken. He has showcased at Folk Alliance (Memphis), played Nashville’s legendary Bluebird Café, and toured extensively across the U.S. and Europe. Festival highlights include Electric Picnic, Cork Jazz, Kilkenny Roots,(Ireland) Belladrum (Scotland), Jamming@Hippie Jack’s (USA), New Orleans Music Festival (Germany), Bilbao Musiktan (Spain), and Haarlem Jazz & Huntenpop(Netherlands).With a loyal international fan base and tireless work ethic, Ben Reel remains one of Ireland’s most enduring troubadours.Ben Reel - Vox, guitar, harmonicaRonnie O’Flynn - drumsPaul McCabe - bassGerry Black Jnr - guitarsupport on the night comes from Mélys who is over on tour from France https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nUC3a7SNEx8&pp=iggUQAFKEC1rMHRxZXBtUk9pNlNEY0o%3D&ra=m - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/dublin/ben-reel-~-spirits-not-broken/100001998669063973 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Music, Entertainment, Festivals, Art, trips-adventures - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 17.07, max: 17.07, currency: EUR ## Event venue details - **city**: Dublin - **state**: DN - **country**: Ireland - **location**: Arthur's Blues & Jazz Club - **lat**: 53.343154 - **long**: -6.281615999999985 - **full address**: Arthur's Blues & Jazz Club, 28 Thomas Street, Dublin, Ireland ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Ben Reel ~ Spirit’s Not Broken - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/eb74f04a258278cceef711bf93c0d0540b079f0f1d3041aaa1a63af4a71f257d-rimg-w1200-h1200-dc482818-gmir.jpg?v=1788297690 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Ben Reel ~ Spirit s Not Broken being held? - **A:** Ben Reel ~ Spirit s Not Broken takes place on Fri, 11 Sep, 2026 at 09:00 pm to Fri, 11 Sep, 2026 at 11:00 pm at Arthur's Blues & Jazz Club, 28 Thomas Street, Dublin, Ireland. - **Q**: Who is organizing Ben Reel ~ Spirit s Not Broken? - **A:** Ben Reel ~ Spirit s Not Broken is organized by Arthur's Blues and Jazz Club. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
