Alabama-born and Southern-raised, Brett 'Bad Blood' Benton has been obsessed with country blues ever since he was a child, listening to his parent's and grandparent's records at an early age. By his teens he was playing behind a drum kit, and by his early 20's was learning his way around slide guitar. In 2016 he left the South and everything he's ever known to perform his own brand of delta and country style of blues around the country and the world.
