Rising country-soul breakout Benny G has released his new EP, When You Know You Know. Listen HERE.
The six-song project combines Benny’s lauded singles “An Hour or So” and “I Got a Feeling” (both produced by Benny with Todd Clark) with four additional recordings produced by Eddie Spear (Zach Bryan, Brandi Carlile, Sam Barber). Taken as a whole, the songs form a loose narrative about the rise and fall of a relationship, making for an engaging set that showcases a young performer as he confidently hits his stride. Nearly every song was recorded live in single takes, reflecting the raw musicality that drives Benny’s instinctive, no-frills artistry.
“This body of work takes the listener on a chronological journey through the ups and downs of love,” shared Benny. “We cut the music live because we wanted to make the listener feel as if they were in the room during the recording. Young or old, I just hope that if you’re going through a hard time, you can take something away from this.”
Following the release, Benny will step into the circle at the hallowed Grand Ole Opry for the first time Saturday (4/18) following a surprise invite by Country Music Hall of Fame member and Opry legend Vince Gill, one of Benny’s musical heroes.
The new release and Grand Ole Opry debut are the latest in a long line of career accomplishments for the 20-year-old wunderkind. It was recently announced he will open for Ty Myers on all dates of THE LEGAL TOUR; he is headlining select Whiskey Jam Tailgate Parties in conjunction with Luke Combs’ stadium tour; just this year he has been on the road with Jack Wharff Band, Sons of Legion, Congress The Band, Penelope Road, and more; he made his debut at C2C in Germany and London; and will make his first appearance at CMA Fest this summer.
