Ben Kweller Welches On Houston, Opts For Minute Maid

kweller.jpg Yesterday, as mentioned in our last H-Town Rock post, there was supposed to be a Ben Kweller concert at House of Blues. Prior to the show Ben was also going to play an in-store at Houston's beloved Cactus Music and sign some autographs.

Well, it seems Mr. Kweller had to cancel his singing engagements due to a pretty rough sore throat. Ben tried to make the most out of his day though, which apparently didn't sit too well with some folks.

After being told that he had been a bit of a dick, Ben informed us [ok, the world, but that includes us] via his Twitter that there had been a communication breakdown, or he would have shown up at Cactus to at least shake some hands. He then apologized for his less-than-considerate move.

It sounded pretty sincere to us, so we'll let it slide. There's no word yet on a rescheduled date, but we're betting Ben probably won't spend the day at Minute Maid next time he's in town.
