Biography

Louisiana singer/songwriter Benjy Davis formed the Benjy Davis Project as a folk-rock duo in Baton Rouge in 2001. Originally, the group members were Davis and drummer Mic Capdevielle. Eventually, it expanded into a six-piece with the addition of Anthony Rushing (violin, mandolin, vocals), Jonathan Lawhun (guitar, banjo), Brett Bolden (bass), and Michael Galasso (harmonica, keyboards, vocals). The Benjy Davis Project built up a following while touring nationally as a support act to John Mayer, Better Than Ezra, and North Mississippi All-Stars, as well as playing such prominent local shows as the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. The group self-released its first two albums, More Than Local (April 20, 2002) and The Practice Sessions (May 4, 2004). Bogalusa issued their third album, The Angie House, on September 27, 2005, and Real Records stepped in to handle the Benjy Davis Project's fourth CD, Dust, which appeared on September 18, 2007.
