Benjamin Booker

This New Orleans-based blues-rock singer-songwriter caught Rolling Stone's eye last summer as an artist to watch out for, and now he's coming to LA playing behind his eponymous debut LP. Taking inspiration from T. Rex and Blind Willie Johnson, Benjamin Booker and his drummer and bassist he tours with spent last year opening for Jack White on tour, snagged a spot on Lollapalooza's lineup and made an appearance on Letterman. His buzz precedes him; this Roxy show is already sold out.
