📍Black Bear Patio Stage

Hailing from the rugged hills of West Virginia, singer-songwriter Shawn Benfield has cultivated a unique and compelling musical voice that defies easy categorization. His artistry is a rich tapestry woven from a wide array of musical influences, drawing deeply from the wells of classic country, the introspection of Texas songwriter greats, and the poignant, often melancholic indie sounds of artists like Elliott Smith. He crafts songs that possess the melodic catchiness of pop music while retaining the lyrical depth and thematic weight of country and folk traditions. This signature fusion is what sets Shawn Benfield apart, allowing him to create a sound that is as unique as the mountain hollows he calls home.
