Alex Benoit Music

If it was left to me, I would describe my act as a smorgasbord of entertainment. I sing, I play guitar and I sometimes tell a story or two. But it is never boring or repetitive. What happens is that I strap on my guitar and a party breaks out wherever I am!

I'm a late bloomer! My mom discouraged me from following my love of music. It took quite a while for me to shake off the shackles of corporate America and follow my dream of being a performer. In recent years, I have been a church musician, a worship leader, a wedding singer and a street performer (busker). My overwhelming love is for busking. It's an opportunity to play for people who stop and listen because they like the music. My life experiences have taken me to a career in sports medicine, covering both professional and amateur sports. But that was too "behind the scenes" for me. I love the spotlight and everything that involves. I'm constantly exploring new music, new instruments and refining my skills. Hopefully, that shows through in my performances.

My act is pretty self contained. I bring my own amp, my own pedals, my own mic and enough cable to connect to almost any sound system. If needed, I have my own PA that will effectively cover at least 250 in an outdoor setting. Indoors, in a more intimate setting, I am at home in front of few people or a full auditorium.
