Benny Everett plays rock and roll with the best intentions. Not one to be pigeonholed, you’ll hear flavors of classic country, punk, folk, emo, jam, and new wave across his new album, Dreams Are Free. Recording live in a Northeast Minneapolis warehouse, Benny and his band the Best Intentions built upon the sound of 2022 effort, Anybody Home?, by embracing big harmonies, turning up the guitars, and expanding their sonic universe beyond Americana and folk rock. Benny is a songwriter who loves songcraft. Says Benny: “I like to work out a song zigging and zagging until it feels so exciting that I want to play and listen to it again immediately, over and over. That’s not always easy, but it’s my favorite thing.” Yes, dreams come for free, but you have to work to make them real.
