SUMMARY:Garrin Benfield
DESCRIPTION:Garrin Benfield gained notice in 2000 with his stark tribute t
 o Matthew Shepard\, “What You’re Hiding\,” which was used in a produ
 ction of the Laramie Project. In 2002\, after recording his second CD\, 
 “Nowhere is Brighter” with Bonnie Raitt’s rhythm section and guest 
 Boz Scaggs\, Benfield took up a relentless touring schedule\, both as a so
 lo artist and with his band. Some of these increasingly improvisation-heav
 y sets were documented on the 2003 release “August Live.” 2004 saw t
 he release of “Where Joy Kills Sorrow\,” and Benfield’s first fora
 y into live improvisational looping\, which enabled him to tour solo but w
 ith added layers of beats\, bass lines and the searing lead guitar Benfiel
 d’s hardcore fans have come to expect. He released two albums of unadorn
 ed solo performances\, "The Wave Organ Song" in 2011\, and  the self ti
 tled acoustic live album "Garrin Benfield" in 2019. Playing eclectic set
 s at hundreds of shows every year\, Benfield has become an underground fa
 vorite at festivals\, rock clubs\, coffeehouses and house concerts.\n\nGar
 rin Benfield's sound has been described as Freestyle Acoustic Rock. His mu
 sic is a blend of moody\, guitar driven rock and polyrhythmic groove all r
 un through the filter of a very serious Singer/Songwriter. His talent shin
 es through as a solo artist when he flat-picks his way through complicated
  and lightning-fast arrangements and also while he uses a Loop Station to 
 create mesmerizing soundscapes upon which he lays blistering rock\, blues 
 and jazz licks\, darkened by his extensive use of effect pedals. As a band
 leader\, Garrin can command the attention of seasoned players and improvis
 e with the dexterity and ingenuity of players many years his senior. Impro
 visation is at the center of a Garrin Benfield concert experience. Whether
  at a solo show or at a full band event\, Garrin twists and turns the tune
 s each night in an ever-evolving attempt to keep searching for new musical
  challenges.
