New York City's indie power duo Benyaro has been compared to an early Tom Waits, David Bowie and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. Lead singer Ben Musser and bassist Bobby McCullough combine a lot of great sounds into a collection of mellow, awe-inspiring tunes. I think I found a new set of songs for driving the open road. Benyaro will be performing with Benvolio Wilson and Liza Bance tonight at The Camel. Benyaro - Time To Kill [...]
Even after schlepping an upright bass, two guitars, and a kick drum to the blustery heights of the Village A rooftops, Benyaro 's Ben Musser and Bobby McCullough still didn't quite have all of the accompaniment that they desired. McCullough, on the upright bass, tapped a tambourine with his left foot and Musser, on guitar, managed both the kick drum and a maraca stuffed in the laces of his other shoe. Alas, we humans are given a mere two hands, and so it was that Musser had to create his own sound effects to replace the crash of [...]
Benyaro is a roots-folk trio from Brooklyn that has paid their dues by playing subway platforms, touring relentlessly, self-releasing their debut album and slowly building a word-of-mouth following.

I've still got those aunts in my feet that requiring me to find something else than my alt-country / chamber pop /pseudo-blues stuff. So I won't bother you, I'll do it short... but it you want to move with me, I've just find some delicate tracks that can match our nights... Influenced by Wilson Pickett, Brooklyn-based acoustic soul/folk/rock Benyaro leads by the great voice of Ben Musser released a 9 tracks collection last year that requires my mood attention. Comparisons have been drawn with Ray LaMontagne (hehe), Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (hehehe) ! And they've also had [...]
