Artist
Benjamin Booker (born June 14, 1989 in Virginia Beach, Virginia) is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist. Based in New Orleans, he cites The Gun Club, Blind Willie Johnson, and T. Rex as influences. His music was described by the Chicago Tribune as "a raw brand of blues/boogie/soul," and by The Independent as "frenzied guitar-strumming and raw, soulful vocals that are hair-raising in intensity."
