Belltown Yacht Club Presents: Javelin with Brett Benton
Javelin is a three piece band from seattle. They are first and foremost fans of music and strive to write songs that are unique and interesting. Their music ranges from metal to jazz to prog to funk all finished with a dash of punk. Their love of sci fi is weaved into their music as a way of looking at this weird little planet of ours. All of the artwork associated with javelin is created in house by frontman and bass player Bryan Mandronico. Bryan is backed by his brothers in arms Michael Benitez on drums and Mush on guitar.
Alabama-born and Southern-raised, Brett Benton has been obsessed with country blues ever since he was a child, listening to his parents’ and grandparents’ records at an early age. By his teens he was playing behind a drum kit, and by his early 20's was learning his way around slide guitar. Currently in the Pacific Northwest, he has been featured on KEXP and his debut album You Got To Pray features Grammy-winning hill country blues legend Cedric Burnside.
Known for his fierce rhythmic finger picking, melodic slide guitar and booming voice, Brett's raw style is best heard one of two ways: paying homage to its roots with solo, acoustic slide guitar; and electric alongside a heavy, relentless and dynamic style of drums that really emphasizes what country blues is all about… the hypnotic groove! For either style being played, both remain true to the nature of country blues – a style not played by many – while also retrofitted with grit and a bit of heaviness from the modern times. His music keep the fans moving and grooving!
