"...As a songwriter, Peter Benjamin's deftly lyrical and melodically-driven artistry acknowledges the eclecticism of some of today's most unique contemporary indie, pop, and rock artists. On internet radio, his brand of soulful folk rock can be heard streaming in between tracks from Iron and Wine, Band of Horses, The Swell Season, Ryan Adams, and Radiohead, among others. Benjamin owes much of his style to the influence of prolific and iconic tunesmiths like Sting, Peter Gabriel, Billy Joel, and Phil Collins, whose melodic craft provided much of the soundtrack to his formative years..."

In the early 2000's, I co-founded Seattle-based post alternative group Edisyn. We enjoyed status as a perennial Seattle club scene favorite from the early to late 2000's. Edisyn authored three acclaimed releases to a notoriously fickle Seattle original music scene before parting ways.  Edisyn's blend of British and American alternative allowed me to forge a unique guitar style which I then parlayed into my work with country rock artist Sammy Steele, helping garner considerable recognition as one the Northwest's most distinctive groups of it's genre.

 

These days, I occasionally release collections of songs of my own, but am much more involved in producing and releasing collaborations with other artists, bands, and songwriters. Check out a couple of recent and upcoming collabs below...

When I'm not putting out music, I'm imparting my unique method of making and understanding music through my educational platform called the Peter Benjamin Music Workshop. Navigate to the education page or contact me directly at peterbenjaminmusic@gmail.com for more information. I'm also the resident musician at Harris Bridge Vineyard in Philomath OR, a very small independent winery and community nestled in the southern recesses of the beautiful Willamette Valley in Oregon State.
