Benyaro

Brooklyn, N.Y./Jackson, Wyo.
Indie Acoustic Soul Power
www.myspace.com/benyaro

Benyaro laid the groundwork for its self-described “indie acoustic soul” by busking on the subways and is now opening for acts like The Avett Brothers. “Bobby’s girlfriend approached me and said he’d just moved to New York,” recalls lead singer Ben Musser of his co-leader, bassist Bobby McCullough. “She was kind of pimping him out and suggested I give him a call. We’ve been playing together ever since.” Benyaro’s exploratory lyrics are based on real relationships, places and emotions. The group’s soulful honesty, heartfelt and diverse traveling from beat boxing, “acoustic disco house” and blues to soul, folk and everything in between. Good Day Better, Benyaro’s latest record, strives to “keep the listener on their toes and expand the boundaries of what acoustic music is,” says Musser. “We’re more then just a pleasant group—we’re trying to shake things up.”

I just saw them at Gerstles in Louisville and they blew me away! F-ing sick acoustic insanity. They are good for your soul.

29:32 as rx’d + 10# on DL So, I would like to say I pulled a Chris Dunkin and added weihgt to make it more challenging. I would also like to say I decided to call Jon Hill out and challenge him to do more weihgt on this WOD. The reality is that 225 + 30 does not equal 245. Goal was sub 30 min so met the goal. For the record GHD were hand over head, but not touching floor. Just not up to that standard yet for 150 of em.
