Guitarist

Joe Benton grew up in Hickory Flat Georgia, just outside of Atlanta. At an early age music became a large focus after hearing bands like AC/DC and Pink Floyd on the radio. At age 10 he started playing the saxophone and by 15 he took up guitar. He joined his first rock band in 1984 and by the late 80’s had been gigging in several thrash metal bands. This love of music has continued into his adult life. Today Joe is influenced by a wide variety of artists including  Melvin Taylor, Tony Iommi, Larry Lalonde, David Gilmour, Hank Shermann, and Lucas Nelson.
