Created from a new rock era out of the Garden State, The Benjamin's have brought the original music scene back with unprecedented style. The group's fresh look and infectious hooks are driven by a rock-hard pulse, all the while sealing the signature "Benjamins" sound and showing fans worldwide what New Jersey rock is all about.
COVER ACT:
The Benjamins rock show is truly something to experience. Rarely is a band so diverse and talented on so many levels. They can offer any venue or event a top notch performance. The band compliments the already well established and legendary rock show with amazing intangibles like:
-An acoustic program (similar to MTV Unplugged)
-radio friendly original tracks
-a tailor-made corporate/wedding performance
All of these are guaranteed to please all in attendance. Entertaining crowds of all ages and styles is what makes them so unique. The Benjamins truly can do it all and have been for 8 years and counting.
ORIGINAL ACT:
The most sought after cover act in the Northeastern U.S since the turn of the millennium, the band made the usually formidable transition to an original act a smooth one. After throwing original singles into their cover arsenal and gaining positive response, the band wrote, produced, and released, "GO", their first full-length CD in May of 2004. Its release marked a turning point in their career as musical artists. The album not only sold out, but solidified the respect the band earns from its fans as well as the gain of those not familiar with the group's musical and creative abilities.
While maintaining their top cover act status and with fans everywhere clamoring for new original tracks, the band signed with Core Records and entered the recording studio. Under the pressure of a label and the fans' high demand for quality, they emerged over a year later with their highly anticipated sophomore album "The Chronicles of the Garden State." Released nationwide in April of 2007 to critical acclaim, the band's star power shined bright with its "high energy, modern arena-rock" and was subsequently gobbled up by eager and adoring fans everywhere. The Benjamins have since received airplay from local and college radio stations in the the tri-state area including G ROCK. They have also opened for national acts including: Cheap Trick, Goo Goo Dolls, Sponge, Third Eye Blind, and Lifehouse. With an aggressive grassroots-to-big-stages drive and no signs of slowing down, The Benjamins will continue to set the trend of an era and "rock out" for fans old and new in 2008 and beyond!
