About the Artist
Brent Bennett has been working professionally as a musician for over 20 years, playing in bands in Indiana and California. He has a huge archive of original music ranging from rock to blues and country.
Brent performed with bands in California, opening for such artists as John Waite and Echo & the Bunnymen, before returning to Indiana. Since then, he has played with Roadapple and Gypsy Runner, performing at the Vogue and Verizon Wireless Music Center. He formed Stones Crossing with Rob York, where he played lead guitar and fronted the band.
His involvement with Ballast resulted in the band's self-titled 2000 album, on which he wrote all the songs as well as providing lead vocals and guitar.
Brent also worked with Sindacato, playing bass guitar and contributing an original song, “My Kind of Woman,” to the band's 2005 album, “The Cord.”
