Benson and Leinweber

Benson and Leinweber have been wowing crowds wherever they have played.
They are the duo made up of Dave Benson and David Leinweber, two outstanding guitarists, songwriters, and performers. Veterans of the blues, rock and folk scenes, the two form a powerhouse duo featuring excellent harmonies, skillful guitar-interplay and well-selected songs – not to mention lots of fun and energy.
The duo's repertoire ranges from traditional music of Appalachia and the British Isles, to Spanish ballads, to folkadelic rock and acoustic blues. Critics have praised their work with such phrases as “excellent guitarists,” “Masters of the flatpicking and fingerpicking styles of guitar,” and “great picking combined with good songwriting; what more could you ask?”
Many of their songs tell great stories and feature distinctive idioms of guitar-playing and songwriting. But most of all, they are just out to entertain and have a good time. Their performances intersperse intricate guitar work and vocals with joke-cracking and occasional commentaries. They are a good fit for audiences of all stripes and tastes.
