Benji Merritt is first and foremost a songwriter. When it comes to music, it’s always been his first love. As a storyteller, he lets the songs that he writes lead him to the genre to which it belongs.

As an artist, he is known for singing Bluegrass, Blues & Southern Rock & Roll. As a classically trained musician, he specializes in guitar and cello, but can play most anything as long as it has strings. He calls South Carolina home, and it shows up in his music.
