Description: The Bennett Brothers have a flair for blending the new and the old... casting classic tunes in a new light, and then hitting us with something completely fresh. Their debut release 3 Minutes to Midnight is produced by Hipbone co founder Vicki Bell known for her stylish work with Open Door, Alexis P. Suter and other underground notables.

La Hora Del Blues by Vincent Zumel, Barcelona, Spain One of Bennett's abilities is they really knows how to do a good mixture of classic r&b sounds with the most modern musical fashion. Somebody dared to define them as 'the new light of a living musical sun' or 'the fresh clear water of northern Montana sources'. Apart from these poetic comments, the cd gives us twelve innovative songs that combine contemporary electric blues with swampy-grooves, all spiced with root blues music. Jimmy Bennett sings, plays guitar and lap-steel, his brother Peter plays bass and the great Ray Grappone plays drums. Also are guest musicians legendary and admired Levon Helm on drums and his daughter Amy singing at 'Can't Find A Reason'.

Currently the Bennett Brothers are the back up band for Blues and Soul phenom Alexis P. Suter. They have performed with some of the best in blues and rock and roll including Levon Helm, Rick Danko, Hubert Sumlin, Garth Hudson, BB King, Elvis Costello, The Muddy Waters Band and Little Sammy Davis. Bennett are one of the tightest 3 piece units in the business and should not be missed! WHAT'S NEW... THE BENNETT BROTHER...
