Award-winning American singer/songwriter, guitar player and playwright Benjamin Scheuer will release his debut record, Songs From The Lion, this spring. The album, featuring music from Scheuerâ€™s critically acclaimed one-man musical memoir The Lion, is out June 3. Scheuer wrote Songs From The Lion as he was playing gigs around his hometown of New York City. â€œI was singing about my dad, who died when I was thirteen. Singing about a romantic relaÂ¬tionship I was in that went well until it went bad. Singing about my diagnosis with, treatment for, and cure of advanced stage cancer.â€ The Lion has won numerous awards in the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, Scotland, and South America, including: â€¢ 2015 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Solo Performance â€¢ 2015 Theatre World Award â€¢ Off-West End Award for Best New Musical â€¢ 2016 British Animation Award for Public Choice Favorite Music Video â€¢ 2015 Encounters Film Festival, UK, Best Music Video for â€œCookie-tin Banjoâ€ â€¢ 2014 British Animation Award, Public Choice for Best Music Video for â€œThe Lionâ€ â€œThose songs are awfully well-constructed and exactingly played; thereâ€™s a hint of Paul Simon in Scheuerâ€™s easy, knowing lyrics and disciplined musicianship.â€ â€” Washington Post â€œScheuer plays the guitar like itâ€™s an extension of himselfâ€¦spellbindingâ€ â€” Time Out London â€œBenjaminâ€™s guitar playing is like his song writing; fluid, accomplished, rich in melody and breathtaking in technique.â€ â€” Mary Chapin Carpenter Scheuer â€œgets to the heart of the matterâ€ â€” New York Times â€œBallsy and originalâ€¦ the magic of The Lion is that it is real, intimate and wonderfully movingâ€ â€” Huffington Post
