Greg Benn -- guitar & vocals

Greg,
the youngest member of The Cobalt Rhythm Kings, is
also the only father of the bunch.
His daughter, Jessica, is a familiar site at Cobalt gigs, where she has been
known to spin around the microphone stands, sit on the Cobalt "Red Pepper" rug
and help keep Mark's harmonica microphone cord from getting tangled up on
furniture.
She also occasionally likes to join her daddy on stage.
Jessica's younger twin siblings, Luke & Leigha, should be following suit before
too long.
Greg grew up in Norwalk and West Haven, Connecticut, where, like many a budding
blues guitarist, he played in Jimi Hendrix and southern rock cover bands in high
school before finding his way to the blues.
Now a resident of Guilford, Conn., Greg has an interest in teaching music as
well as playing it: he works as a music teacher at Carrigan Middle School in
West Haven, Conn. as well as giving private guitar lessons.
You can arrange to take guitar lessons from Greg by clicking the "E-mail Greg" button and dropping him a note.
Greg holds a teaching certificate in music education from Western Connecticut State University and currently is working towards his master's degree in education.
