Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist Darin Bennett has been performing in clubs since he was a teenager. He was fortunate enough to be continuously snuck into clubs by older, seasoned musicians who often brought him on stage to play. He spent most of his teenage years and early twenties sitting in with or opening for artists such as Chuck E. Weiss, JJ Holiday, Joe Sublett, and a long list of major blues and rock artists ranging from Hubert Sumlin to Bruce Springsteen to Whiskeytown. After years of watching and learning from his heroes, he has discovered his own voice and style.
He wrote, produced, and performed the score for the film Small Change (MNC Productions) and has had several songs featured on television for Imagine/Disney/WB and ABC. In addition, he collaborated on a Delta-blues side project with Michelle Shocked.
Currently, he is continuing to perform in clubs around Los Angeles and touring everywhere possible. He has just released his debut album as a solo artist entitled '20 Scarlet Monkeys'.

Something Old, Something New
author: Dane Marks
I bought this CD after hearing it playing at a club in New York. I'm a DJ myself and I've been playing it non-stop. This is as raw as it gets and honest as all hell. My only complaint is that Darin does not yet have more music to purchase, although I've seen on the web that there are some bootlegs available that he is more than cool with people sharing. Excellent debut from a more than promising artist in every sense of the word. Check out his paitings on his website. They tell the story of his music.

Ready to be famous
author: Harry J Buys
Before writing this, I’ve been listening more than 7 times to this cd. To me, this deserves a throne among the most thrilling records I heard in 2006. The music reminds me of a 1000 other things I love, but mister Bennett is cooking it all in his own precious way.
