Description
Benny started playing guitar at the age of 14 with money he had earned from his newspaper route.From the beginning all of his style was learned on his own or from records. He has never taken any guitar lessons.
Within a few years he and brother Danny were hosting jams at clubs around Houston which included such future stars as Johnny & Edgar Winter and Billy Preston.
After a tour of Vietnam with the Marines in the late '60s Benny returned to Houston to concentrate on good ol' Texas Blues being very glad to be alive when alot of the guys he had known in Vietnam did not make it back at all.
Having played with several different bands in the early '70s Benny came to the attention of Freddie King and was honored to be able to play in Freddie's band for a while in 1972.
Thru it all Benny's first love is Texas Blues which you will find plenty of on "Surrounded by the Blues" along with some tasty blues rock. With the help of Kaz Kazanoff on sax, Riley Osborne on keyboards and Derek O'Brian on guitar Benny has made a very diverse blues album with "Surrounded by the Blues".
