Bio
Arthur Benson was born in Brooklyn NY in the mid 80's and moved to Allentown PA in his early childhood. Growing up with a hodge podge of traditional religious and oldies music, he crafts songs with insightful lyrical content, diverse musical constructs and unmistakeable vocal prowess. He is highly concerned with the apparent decay of American culture and with his music seeks to elevate the conciousness of the listener to the possibilities of life without tacit agreement to the status quo. Arthur Benson knows you and only you can change the world, and he wishes to be a part.
