Paul Benjaman Band is from Tulsa, Oklahoma. Formed in 2007, their mission is to create music that everybody can enjoy. By combining the legendary "Tulsa Sound" with Western Swing, Modern Funk, Bebop, and Reggae this group creates a multi-genre experience that should not be missed.
Paul Benjaman Band is comprised of four talented musicians.
Guitarist/Vocalist Paul (an inductee of the Tulsa World Music Hall of Fame) represents the best elements of what Tulsa guitar is all about. Paul's great songs and masterful guitar playing are at the forefront of this band's sound. "Paul Benjaman is a scientific enigma .." - Porter Ragnus, the Current
Supplying the beats on drums is Andrew Bones; a very versatile and gifted drummer that knows how to keep the dance floor packed.
