Was it in Helsinki or Orlando?” Benjamin Del Shreve asks during the opening bars of “God is a Dancer,” the first track on his highly anticipated debut album Brilliant & Charming. It’s a question that best personifies Benjamin’s spontaneous approach to life and an eccentric philosophy that manifests itself in his music.

On Brilliant & Charming, Benjamin puts a modern twist on timeless rock ‘n’ roll filled with scorching solos, captivating melodies, and danceable beats. The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette declared, “Benjamin Del Shreve seamlessly melds passion with pop sensibility.” Critics aren’t the only ones singing his praises; Benjamin and his band swept every category for which they were nominated at the 2008 Northwest Arkansas Music Awards taking home the prizes for Pop/Rock Band of the Year, Best Male Vocal, Album of the Year, and Band of the Year. Slowly, the line-up, the songs, and the fan base came together culminating in the release of Brilliant & Charming, an album that has been a long time coming but truly lives up to its name.
