LE PETIT VERSAILLES AND MAKE MUSIC NY PRESENT A DOUBLE HEADER MUSIC EVENT TO RING IN THE LONGEST DAY! UP FIRST!JUNE 21 @ 5-7 PMLE PETIT VERSAILLES346 E. Houston St. @ Ave CRAIN OR SHINEGarrin Benfield's sound has been described as Freestyle Acoustic Rock. His music is a blend of moody, guitar driven rock and polyrhythmic groove all run through the filter of a very serious Singer/Songwriter. His talent shines through as a solo artist when he flat-picks his way through complicated and lightning-fast arrangements and also while he uses a Loop Station to create mesmerizing soundscapes upon which he lays blistering rock, blues and jazz licks, darkened by his extensive use of effect pedals. As a bandleader, Garrin can command the attention of seasoned players and improvise with the dexterity and ingenuity of players many years his senior. Improvisation is at the center of a Garrin Benfield concert experience. Whether at a solo show or at a full band event, Garrin twists and turns the tunes each night in an ever-evolving attempt to keep searching for new musical challenges."An intimate and confident affair on which there is nothing to distract the listener from the music"-- Gregg Shapiro, Bay Area Reporter"Fearless Improvisation"-- Aidin Vaziri, San Francisco Chronicle--LPV Events are made possible by Allied Productions, Inc., Gardeners & Friends of LPV, Citizens for NYC, The Trust for Public Land, GreenThumb/NYC Dept. of Parks, Materials for the Arts, NYC Dept. of Cultural Affairs, NYC Dept. of Sanitation, & NYC Board of Education.
