My name is Jordan "JT" Benker. I'm a Chicago native, but I currently am attending Berklee College of Music in Boston MA. I'm a solo artist with a sound unique and different from the rest. I am a singer/songwriter and I also play guitar, bass, drums, piano, mandolin, ukulele and harmonica. I have been writing songs for almost 5 years now. I've been performing for the past 4 years; 1.5 years with my old band Washro, and the past 2.5 years solo. I have performed at many venues across the Chicago...
My name is Jordan "JT" Benker. I'm a Chicago native, but I currently am attending Berklee College of Music in Boston MA. I'm a solo artist with a sound unique and different from the rest. I am a singer/songwriter and I also play guitar, bass, drums, piano, mandolin, ukulele and harmonica. I have been writing songs for almost 5 years now. I've been performing for the past 4 years; 1.5 years with my old band Washro, and the past 2.5 years solo. I have performed at many venues across the Chicagoland area and I have opened for a number of major acts including: Ted Nugent, Cheap Trick, Lucky Boys Confusion, Dot Dot Dot, Dr. Manhattan, and many more. My music can be described best as a fresh rock/pop with influence from all the classic rock heroes from the 60s 70s and 80s. All of the songs you will hear were recorded and mixed by me. Also, all of the instruments were played by me as well. I am available for all kinds of shows ranging from intimate unplugged shows to loud and exciting electric shows with a band playing with me. Aside from the songs you have already listened to, I have many other songs that are still in the recording/process. I hope you enjoy my music and who I am. I'm not just a punk looking for his 15 minutes of fame, I'm a musician and a performer who truly understands the meaning of music.
