Jesse Ruben, a Maple Glen native and Upper Dublin graduate, will perform a show at the World Café Live in Philadelphia on Friday, May 12 at 8:30pm.

The Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter is on the verge of releasing his third album sometime later this year. The first single from the album is “Belong,” which will be released tomorrow.

Ruben moved to New York 12 years ago after earning a degree in songwriting at the Berklee College of Music. He is a co-founder of Generation Lyme, a community built to empower people facing Lyme disease through sharing patient stories and hosting online Meet-ups. Ruben is also the founder of The We Can Project, an initiative for young students designed to help them discover their passions and give back to their communities.
