Los Angeles, CA — Hidden behind flowing rusty hair and Shakespearean beard is Benji Hughes, a complex, and often funny, dreamer with a harmonious voice. The singer-songwriter from North Carolina subtly infuses his music with flavors and colours, evoking the numerous feelings that love brings. From happiness to misery, Benji describes relationships with friends, women and life in general. New West Records released Benjis debut, 25 song, two album set, ‘A Love Extreme’ in 2008 and Benji toured with Rilo Kiley’s Jenny Lewis in the UK around its release.
Benji Hughes spends much of his time masterminding his blend of inventive rock and ballads. At times earnest, at others whimsical, Benji is equally adept at keyboards and guitar. He loves beer but he loves women even more. Underneath his thick mane of strawberry blond hair and beard is a versatile singer/songwriter, full of heart. His music collection – spanning everything from The Crystals, Merle Haggard, and Kinky Friedman to Talking Heads, The Cars, and Slayer – is as wild as his gracious exterior.
