Philly native Ruben returns to World Cafe Live

Philadelphia native Jesse Ruben played tonight, Oct. 24, at World Cafe Live.

The show celebrated the release of his newest EP, “Thoughts I’ve Never Had Before Part 2,” which debuted Oct. 19. Other acts on the bill were Alexis Babini and Ron Pope.

His new EP peaked at No. 5 on the iTunes Singer-Songwriter chart, said Ruben.

The show was undoubtedly a family affair for the singer-songwriter. His usual and funny stage banter was brightened by comments to his parents and other family members.

“I can’t hear you, Dad,” Ruben said, as he encouraged the audience to sing along to one of his songs.
