„BÊNNÍ is special, especially for a young dude. He NEVER overplays; he always listens; he’s funky as a church lady; and his memory for parts and complicated song structure is unmatched in anyone I have ever worked with….plus he’s chill as fuck.”

BENNI, organist of Nashville blues band NATURAL CHILD
and New Orleans punk groups WIZZARD SLEEVE and GARY WRONG GROUP    

SOLO ALBUM on Memphis label GONER RECORDS

mixed by QUINTRON and BUCK BILOXI from THE FUCKS

BÊNNÍ’s music can go from Vangelis, to John Carpenter, to 80s dungeon electro band Warning and into vintage arcade game circuitry with the blink of an eye.  With his first LP release, BÊNNÍ will be embarking on a Euro/Scandinavian tour in August with New Orleans drug rock band HEAVY LIDS
