Lincoln, Neb., March 24th, 2005 —

The University Program Council at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln will present musical artist Ben Kweller in concert April 6 at the Lied Center for Performing Arts, 301 N. 12th St.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with the show beginning at 7:30. Tickets are $10 for UNL students with a UNL I.D. and are on sale at the Lied Center box office Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. General public tickets at $15 each go on sale March 28 at the Lied Center.

Kweller has earned a reputation as one of the most compelling musical artists of the day. Kweller showed off his crafty songwriting and kinetic performance with his debut album, "SHA SHA." His style includes anti-folkadelica, indie-punkpop and warm, whimsical wordplay with piano-powered ballads. Kweller has toured both as headliner and alongside such bands as Dave Matthews Band and Dashboard Confessional. Also in April, Kweller will release his highly anticipated second studio album, "On My Way," on ATO Records.

The University Program Council is a volunteer student organization designed to address the co-curricular, social, recreational, cultural and educational needs of the UNL campus.
