About Me |
|
|
Some say that I'm a great singer/songwriter/performer/musician. You'll have to decide that for yourself by listening to the music here or by visiting bennyskyn.com and checking out the music page. Anyway, a writer for a quarter of a century, my sound has been compared to Tom Waits, Woody Guthrie, John Prine, Sting and even Frank Zappa.
At the age of 16, I opened for Charlie McCoy and the Hee Haw Gang in Fayetteville, WV and received two standing ovations for my song "Billy". Since that time I have been addicted to the stage. My lyrics and communication skills with the audience are definately two of my strong points.
In 1994, BCA records released my first CD, "Chewing On Broken Glass". Since then, I have been getting regular airplay on stations such as WUMB-FM 91.9 Boston. The following quote came from Marilyn Rea Beyer (music director WUMB-FM 91.9)... "The way Benny grabs the English language with both hands and makes it speak his mind takes my breath away. The clarity of his playing and his voice display those words so effectively that each song seems to be like a ship in a bottle. How did he get everything in there? Perhaps what is most arresting about Benny is that he is entirely un self-conscious. Not a phony moment".
