My band is gathered from a pool of talented/ unemployable friends and acquaintances. All of my records are available at iTunes: More City Sadness,
Happy Hollowdays,
Sweet and Twisted, and
Faster Forward.
I encourage you to download my entire catalogue! But if you would like to actually hold a CD in your hands please click on the album covers:
You can also order one/all of my CD's directly from me. Or ask the weirdo working at your favorite record store to stock up on Craig Bennett CD's.
Some of my paintings are available as prints. Please feel free to write me for more information. Thank you for your interest.

"I found that what I had desired all my life was not to live - if what others are doing is called living - but to express myself. I realized that I had never the least interest in living, but only in this which I am doing now, something which is parallel to life, of it at the same time, and beyond it. What is true interests me scarcely at all, nor even what is real; only
that interests me which I imagine to be, that which I had stifled every day in order to live.
Whether I die today or tomorrow is of no importance to me, never has been, but that today even, after years of effort, I cannot say what I think and feel --- that bothers me, that rankles." -Henry Miller
I received a degree in art at the University of Georgia in Athens. I played in bands, I bought records, and I sometimes went to class. I made some friends, I lost some friends.
I moved to Atlanta, Georgia. Painted paintings; sang songs; filmed films.
I also played in the band Cork for a few years. I went "solo" in 1999 and have recorded four albums on the Black Cottage recording label.
I returned to school in 2002. In May of 2005 I received the Phi Alpha Theta Award for History at Georgia State University. I also make Halloween art and play in an instrumental music project called Applesauce Tears.
Oh, and I'm a Virgo by the way (whatever that means.)
