Brendan Benson has been called one of America's greatest songwriters. Since 1996, this native of the Detroit suburbs has been creating his particular brand of power-pop alternative rock. But Benson has not always encountered his current level of critical acclaim. He got his start after following a girl to California in the mid-90’s. Benson’s homemade demo led to a quick chase by record companies.
