Behind the release of their self titled EP in the fall of ’06, The Benways have steadily built a legion of fans all throughout the northeast. The band's unique songwriting and powerful dance-grooves entertained a sold-out Bills Bar on Boston’s famed Lansdowne St. this past New Years Eve.
The spring and summer of '07 have shown to be extremely succesful for the high energy Benways, sharing the stage with RAQ, Spiritual Rez and The Indobox at Bostons famed Paradise Rock Club. The band played several acoustic gigs this summer at the Bank of America Pavilion VIP tent with the likes of Bob Weir & Ratdog, Keller Williams and Widespread Panic headlining the main stage.
The Benways are a collaborative group of musicians and artists from the Boston area. The group revolves around former members of the band Three Percent; Ricky Ginsburg, Todd Rourke and Dan Dronseiko. Currently joining the three is drummer Trevor Walker. Former collaborators include Pete Pidgeon (Blue Man Group), Ian Evans(Royal Sound) and Aaron Jackson. Collectively these musicians bring a wealth of talent and experience to the stage. The music draws inspiration from many genres including classic rock, R&B, funk, psychadelia, and good old rootsy country rock. Improvisation always plays a major part in every live performance which makes for a unique experience each night. The band is well known for it's original approach to performing and their ablity to throw a party. Though leaning on years of experience the group is still in it's infant stages and relies heavily on the audience to help them shape this thing that will become The Benways.
