Benjy Davis Project

The skyrocketing Benjy Davis Project took flight in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in 2001. From humble origins as a folk-rock duo playing tiny clubs, today's Benjy Davis Project has evolved into an innovative six-piece ensemble with hordes of loyal fans in the South and a burgeoning audience around America. These admirers are drawn to a sound that's been aptly described both as "collegiate rock with a Southern influence" and "harmony-laden acoustic pop" for its eclectic blend of original material, the innocence and spontaneity of '60s rock, and the band's roots in South Louisiana culture. In that vein, the Benjy Davis Project joins a distinguished roster of a half-century's worth of nationally prominent musicians from Baton Rouge including Better Than Ezra, Johnny Rivers, John Fred and the Playboys, Buddy Guy, Slim Harpo, and Chris Thomas King (some of the band's first gigs took place at King's father's club, Tabby's Blues Box).This combination of youthful passion and rapidly-maturing skills has brought the Benjy Davis Project respect and approval from promoters who have paired them with headlining artists such as John Mayer, The Gin Blossoms, the North Mississippi All-Stars and Better Than Ezra.
