Bio

John Benjamin rides the wave of recording artists using the Internet to get their music heard. His album "Feel Things Deeply" is a reflection of his love of melody, harmony, intense emotion and layered themes.

His songs reflect a diverse history, ranging from the southernmost part of Georgia, through the midwest, to the rolling hills of Central Pennsylvania.

As a classically trained 'cellist, John Benjamin infuses his music with beautiful, linear melodies and harmony piled on top of harmony. His training surfaces in his accompaniments and in his vocal style, a clear, pure tenor that never fails to draw comments from listeners.
