Benyaro @ McMenamins

May 25, 2016 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Free

BENYARO is Ben Musser’s Indie-Americana Soul project based out of Jackson Hole, WY. Benyaro has a sound reminiscent of “acoustic David Bowie” (WESU), “early Tom Waits” (KBGA), and “if you’re a fan of The Band or their modern-day counterparts The Avett Brothers, there’s a good chance you’ll take a shine to Good Day Better”, according to Nashville SCENE. Their three albums have spent time on the CMJ Top 200 chart and over 120 radio stations spin the music including numerous international stations. Benyaro’s live performances showcase Musser’s rich voice and impressive musicianship. He simultaneously performs acoustic guitar, harmonica, kick drum, high hat and shaker with contagious energy while singing. His confident vocals have drawn multiple comparisons to David Bowie and Cat Stevens, among others. Flanked by upright bassist and convincing harmony singer Leif Routman, one is treated to the sound of a full band as the minimalist duo draws audiences into their world of soul, folk, country, rock, blues and gospel. With the inevitable release of a new album produced by Danny Kadar (Avett Brothers, Band of Horses, My Morning Jacket) in Fall 2016 and the recent completion of a feature film score, BENYARO is handsomely poised to soon break onto the national scene.
