Benjamin Booker (born Benjamin Roderick Evans; June 14, 1989) is an American musician, singer, songwriter and guitarist. He cites The Gun Club, Blind Willie Johnson and T. Rex as influences.[2] His music was described by the Chicago Tribune as "a raw brand of blues/boogie/soul,",[3] by The Independent as "frenzied guitar-strumming and raw, soulful vocals that are hair-raising in intensity"[4] and by Spin as "bright, furious, explosive garage rock."[1]
