The up-and-coming folk trio Bennett stopped into WYCE to share a few of their songs. This is one of those songs.
Formed from the remnants of three local Grand Rapids bands, Bennett is a perfect example of people doing what they were designed to do. Featuring Nick Rolls, as well as Josiah Gentry, 19, (guitar/vocals) and Nicholas Warren, 17 (piano/accordion/vocals), Bennett has quickly established themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the folk scene.
Describing the origins of the band, Rolls states that he and Gentry “…were both tired of school, tired of our normal routines, and missing the stage. So we decided to do something about it.” After approaching Warren (and having their rough first practice), the band pushed forward.
