The Bennett Brothers - Not Made For Hire (2018)

Featuring: Jimmy Bennett/Guitar, Peter Bennett/Bass, John Ginty/Hammond B3 Organ, Lee Falco/Drums

The Bennett Brothers have released their first independent album, “NOT MADE FOR HIRE”, with American Showplace Records.

Joining the Bennett Brothers on this compilation is John Ginty (Keyboards) fresh off The Dixie Chicks tour, and Lee Falco (Drums) fresh off Donald Fagan's "Nighfliers" tour. Both add stellar performances in a genuine band setting! Vocalist, Linda Pino swings in to contribute a slow and beautiful 12/8 blues piece.?

After years of making music together Brooklyn natives, the Bennett Brothers have had the honor of performing with legends Levon Helm, B.B. King, Bo Diddley among others. In recent years The Bennett Brothers have played on and contributed songs to two Bruce Katz releases. Jimmy appeared on three John Ginty releases. He contributed songs to and played on the new Sean Chambers record (American Showplace Music), as well.

Over the next few years Jimmy and Peter did a series of shows at Levon Helm's Rambles, ultimately being absorbed into the Alexis P. Suter Band, and performing over at 100 Rambles! Legends such as Garth Hudson Hubert Sumlin, Johnnie Johnson, Little Sammy Davis and Luther “Guitar” Johnson were all frequent guests. Great music grew from Levon’s vision, opening his house and heart to all of us. To this day, musical offshoots flourish from seeds planted at those early rambles.
