About Me |
|
Darin Bennett's music is unconventional, raw, and experimental; combining slide guitar driven gritty delta blues and a deeply soulful voice with tastes of eclectic, modern rock. Darin has been performing in clubs since he was a teenager. He was fortunate enough to be continuously snuck into clubs by older, seasoned blues musicians who often brought him on stage to play. He spent most of his late teens and early twenties sitting in with and absorbing the worlds of a long list of major blues and rock artists ranging from Hubert Sumlin to Bruce Springsteen. After years of watching and learning from his heroes, he has discovered his own voice and style. He wrote, produced, and performed the score for the film 'Small Change' (MNC Productions) and has had several songs featured on television for Imagine/Disney/WB, and ABC. In addition, he recently collaborated on a Delta-blues side project with Michelle Shocked. Currently, he is continuing to perform live shows and has released his debut album as a solo artist entitled '20 Scarlet Monkeys'. DARIN BENNETT - Live ..
