Born on October 20th, I guess that makes me a Libra-Scorpio cusp, huh? Don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing, but at least I’m alive and well. Well, I’ve got the blues. And with the help of a few of my good friends, I was able to get some of it on tape. A lot of it is slow burning electric blues but I threw in a couple acoustic pieces in there as well. Hope you enjoy, thanks for listening – Benjamin

“…intense yet tasteful playing, heartfelt singing with attractive vibrato and warm vocal tone, and a directness to the songs.” – Bruce Iglauer (Alligator Records)

“…Call this music what you will. I call it a thing of musical beauty!” – Greg Szalony (Blues Blast Magazine)

“…Upon playing the first track on the album, I had an immediate “Wow” reaction. “Rain On My Window” is certainly up there as one of my best albums for 2018.” – Adrian Blacklee (Blues Matters! Magazine) “

…powerful voice, compelling songs, and sheer brilliance on guitar.” – Sam Campbell (Gig Spots)

“The Benjamin Vo Band took fans to church in the best way possible on Sunday afternoon. Their show at Tellus 360 brought unreal performances from each member. Vo’s intense blues-rock playing just dares you to look away – taking you on a crazy ride, as you wonder what’s next.” – Carrie Winchel (Rock Documented)
