Sollee himself is a multifaceted creative, blurring the lines between music, tech and activism, according to his bio. “There’s a lot of fertile ground for interacting and creative moments.” From ideas to food to friends, when you’re in college you’re sampling many different things. “I’m excited to come back,” he said, adding that college is a special time in people’s lives. He remembers walking around campus when his family lived nearby, and he taught at the Governor’s School or the Arts when the university hosted the program. Sollee, who performed at Transylvania in 2014, has ties to the school that go back decades. They’ll be joined by musician Genaro Rascon Jr. The show will be the first time he’s performed with his string band, Kentucky Native, since 2018. He will meet with Transylvania music and art students and lead classes and workshops the day after the concert. In addition to performing the annual Smith Concert, Sollee is the featured guest in this year’s Delcamp visiting artist series. Register here for tickets to attend in person or watch online. The public is invited to the free event at 7 p.m. Transylvania University welcomes Lexington native Ben Sollee, an acclaimed cellist and singer-songwriter, for the 2022 Dorothy J.
