* about Brent *
Biography
Brent Bennett has been working professionally as a
musician for over 20 years, playing in bands in Indiana and
California. He has a huge archive of self-composed original
music as well as a large repertoire of cover music he has
accumulated over the years. He has many sides to his
writing, often writing everything from rock to blues and
country.
Brent performed with bands in California, playing his original
music and opening for such artists as John Waite and Echo
and the Bunnymen, before returning to Indiana, where he
began teaching guitar at GuitarWorks in Greenwood. He
now works at and owns The Guitar Co. in Franklin, where he
gives instruction on various instruments such as guitar,
drums, bass guitar and mandolin.
Since returning to his home in Indiana, he has been involved
with the Roadapple band and Gypsy Runner in the early to
mid-80s, performing at the Vogue in Broad Ripple on a few
occasions as well as at Deer Creek (now Verizon Wireless
Music Center).
In 1992, he formed Stones Crossing with Rob York, where
he played lead guitar and fronted the band with his own
brand of left-handed guitar playing.
His involvement with Ballast resulted in the band's self-titled
album released in 2000, on which he wrote all the songs as
well as providing lead vocals and guitar.
During his down time with Stones Crossing, Brent has spent
time with Sindacato, playing bass guitar and helping the
band’s leader, Frank Dean, with the writing chores, as well
as playing guitar and working on other projects with Dean,
his partner in the guitar store.
“Crossing the Country” is a country rock-flavored CD with
Brent's longtime partner Rob York. It was recorded in the fall
of 2005 at Crescent Star Recording Studios, Brent’s own
facility. Rob helped out with the writing duties and added his
own brand of acoustic guitar to the work. Brent played all of
the remaining tracks as well as handling the vocals. Brent's
solo sophomore effort, "Under My Own Power," was
released in July 2006. "The Movers Are in Town," with his
current band, was released in June 2007.
Now working with Don Spade (rhythm guitar), Rob York
(acoustic guitar), Randy Wilson (bass guitar) and Matt Allen
on percussion, Brent is preparing to embark upon a career
with much emphasis on original material, as well as bringing
Don’s unique writing styles into the line-up of the heavily
hooked sing-along tunes they play together as The Movers.
