Chandler and Benoit have performed on thousands of stages, working with such diverse figures as Allen Ginsberg to Mojo Nixon and Pete Seeger to Ani DiFranco. The duo's shows in the Rogue Valley are far too infrequent and always unique and not-to-be-missed. For more information, call 541-301-2924.
Chris Chandler & Paul Benoit
Touring in support of "So, Where Ya Headed?"--their first CD together--this modern multimedia minstrel show blends Chandler's performance poetry with the unique sound of Benoit's music. The result is a style and a genre like no other: hilarious and entertaining, provocative and rabble-rousing.
Delivering vignettes about politics and modern culture, Chandler is, in his own words, "a skinny bald dynamo with the fire of a Baptist preacher." Benoit, a slide guitar virtuoso, joins in to deliver an award-winning show rooted in the streets of America and colored with the blues.
A well-known rabble-rouser and 20-year veteran of the road, Chandler is often found at demonstrations and protests across the United States and Canada. Recently, he was seen protesting the FTAA in Miami, the G-8 in Calgary and the Iraq war (both of them) in Washington, D.C., among many others.
Benoit has performed and recorded his own music and collaborated with numerous songwriters. His songwriting and sound continues to evolve with his solo work. He has just released his fifth CD, "Bluebird," and performs throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and Central America solo, with his band and with performer /poet Chris Chandler.
