Somewhere between the journey between celebration and sorrow, that balanced world without and that uneasy world within Petaluma folk singer Antony Benedetti makes an ecstatic soundtrack for the long road to redemption. These are anthems for extinguished dreams and the desire to set them alight again. With just a jangling guitar Benedetti forges a new Americana smelt with flourishes of flea-bitten country, down-home folk and fiery-indie rock.

Benedetti’s subtle twang and frenzied strums make his songs an American anachronism. They could from anywhere or any time; he would be at home playing beside Waylon Jennings or Willie Nelson, Neutral Milk Hotel or the Arcade Fire. This timeless sound springs from Benedetti’s soul on his sleeve spirit that pushes him past the superficiality if faux folk nostalgia acts.

Accompanied by Gio Benedetti on bass as well as Ian Benedetti on electric guitar and mandolin with Nick Rupiper on drums this Sonoma grown group offers upbeat, fun, honest songs of hope and turning the page when it seems your story has already been written, and make that journey worth the ride.
