Benny Bostrom has been around with the local blues and music scene for as long as he can remember. He was taken to his first blues jam at just eight years old and provided a harmonica just soon after, he was hooked. Many years were spent dabbling on the little instrument before taking it a bit more seriously and making a run at pushing the boundaries of what the instrument could do. Benny enjoys a wide variety of musical genres ranging from traditional Chicago blues, to bebop jazz, to funk and modern pop music, and can often be found transcribing and playing classic jazz standards in his free time. His versatility on the instrument has caught the attention of many around not only the Pacific Northwest, but also from around the country. It has presented him with many opportunities, including the chance to sit in with John Primer and the Real Deal Blues Band, Lorenzo Farrell of Rick Estrin and the Nightcats, Quique Gomez, a plethora of local PNW bands, and now King Kom Beaux. His passion for the harmonica has driven him to go beyond simply playing the instrument; he also assembles and tunes each and every one of his harmonicas by hand. In addition to playing, Benny is also often found working with local music production groups to bring big names to the PNW blues scene and attending a variety of local jams when the opportunity arises. Some of his notable influences and favorite harmonica players include Jason Ricci, Jerry Portnoy, and Big Walter Horton.
