HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU AND YOURS FROM ME AND MINE.
It has been a wonderful year of song and a heartfelt "Thank You!" goes out to all of you for your support over the past year of music making. Song Of The Month celebrated another year at Martuni's and we were at Savanna Jazz Club each month for our regular gig of swinging jazz. We had a successful trip to LA with colleague Linda Kosut to share a "Taste Of San Francisco" at the MBar in WeHo and we continued the tradition of performing bi-monthly for the residents of The Jewish Home, as well as making special music for Unity SF. The new CD "Stolen Moments! is in the can and about to be mastered as we anticipate a January 2012 release date. Upcoming projects include a new cabaret show "Everyday! A Tribute to Joe Williams and a trip to NYC for my first solo show there.
A busy year behind us with a new one on the horizon!!
I hope this holiday season is a joyous, safe and happy one for each of you Filled with lots of "toys & goodies! I look forward to seeing you in the coming year as we continue to keep live music healty and triving in the SF Bay area.
Peace and many blessings.
Benn

"weilds a rich baritone that recalls Joe Williams and Johnny Hartman. In his hands a song becomes less a fragile lament and more a declaration of heartache and tenacity. Maxwell Chandler, Jazz Police "
