Darin Bennett's music is unconventional, raw, and experimental; combining slide guitar driven gritty delta blues and a deeply soulful voice with tastes of eclectic R&B and modern rock.
Darin has been performing in clubs since he was a teenager. He was fortunate enough to be continuously snuck into clubs by older, seasoned blues musicians who often brought him on stage to play. He spent most of his late teens and early twenties sitting in with and absorbing the worlds of a long list of major blues and rock artists ranging from Hubert Sumlin to Chuck E. Weiss to Bruce Springsteen. After years of watching and learning from his heroes, he has discovered his own voice and style.
He wrote, produced, and performed the score for the film 'Small Change' (MNC Productions) and has had several songs featured on television for Imagine/Disney/WB, and ABC. In addition, he collaborated on a Delta-blues side project with Michelle Shocked. He is continuing to perform live shows since releasing his debut album as a solo artist entitled '20 Scarlet Monkeys'. In 2009 he will be back in the studio with his new band to start work on the follow up album - a rock opera entitled ‘Blake Street’.

Darin, Great sound! Glad you came by and checked out my tunes. There are some new ones that I just released. Fully mixed versions hot off the press. Enjoy, Lewis Childs
Thanks so much for adding me. My favorite song of yours is, "Something To Believe In". It's really commercial and I can even imagine it playing in the background of a television show like 'Ghost Whisperer', or 'The Mentalist'. You have a bright future, and I wish you all the best with your music. Take care...
