A Michigan musician who co-founded The Raconteurs and writes direct, melodic solo songs.
For a good sense of his style, try 'Sittin' Pretty' or 'Misery.' They're both clean, melodic, and a little understated.
Benson's songs have a straightforward, personal quality that sticks with you. Tracks like 'Sittin' Pretty' and 'Cold Hands (Warm Heart)' show his knack for melody without overcomplicating things. He's not chasing trends, just writing tunes that feel lived-in.
He grew up in Royal Oak, Michigan, listening to the Beatles and the Ramones. In the early 2000s, he co-founded The Raconteurs with Jack White and released his first solo album, 'One Mississippi.' Since then, he's put out records like 'My Old Familiar Friend' and 'Dear Life.'
