Summary

Though probably best known for his role as singer, sognwriter and guitarist in The Raconteurs, Brendan Benson has long held a solo career of incredible albums that blend rock and pop songwriting. Benson will perform a single, intimate show at Empty Bottle in May.

What We Say

BRENDAN BENSON finds himself in an enviable spot as he enters the third decade of a remarkably creative, consistently idiosyncratic career – an accomplished frontman, musician, songwriter, producer, band member, husband, and dad. Benson’s first new LP in almost seven years and Third Man Records debut, 'Dear Life' marks this consummate polymath’s most inventive and upbeat work thus far. Produced and almost entirely performed by Benson at his own Readymade Studio in Nashville, the album sees the Michigan-born, Nashville-based artist – and co-founder, with Jack White, of The Raconteurs – reveling in a more modernist approach than ever before, fueled by a heady brew of cannabis, hip-hop, and a newly discovered interest in software drum programming.
