Rob Benton

Boston and Key West Based, Rob Benton has spent the last decade as both a solo artist, a member of the duo "Key West Kings" and lead guitarist performing alongside artists as diverse as Nelly, Lee Brice, Lansdowne, Skidrow, Everlast, LFO, New Kids On The Block, J. Geils Band and many more!

Rob also made an appearance on NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” television show, later earning a contract with MGM Grand headlining a yearlong residency at Circus Circus Casino on the Las Vegas strip!

A dynamic performer, Rob Benton‘s style is extremely unique. By combining percussion, looping, beat boxing, electrified rock and hip hop elements to his solo acoustic playing, Rob fills out his sound like a four-piece band. Whether playing tracks from his own albums, “Dawn Meets Day & Key West King’s "Caroline Street" or covering one of the multitude of artists who have influenced him over the years, Rob makes every song his own. Rob was recently signed to Dream Big Dreams Management and Universal Artists
and currently ON TOUR!

Not to be confused with the tropical sounds commonly found or stereotyped on the little island south of Florida, Rob is a heavy hitting,  showboating, interactive, fun entertainer, BASED out of Key West and MINUS  all things Jimmy Buffett (Rip)

Rob has made a name for himself around the US and islands by combining country, rock and hip hop coupled with a driving rock beat, live looping and heaping mounds of “guitar hero” theatrics that make this show a jaw dropping visual and audible experience.   

This is certainly a one of a kind show sure to appeal to any audience demographic and leave them asking the venue “when is this guy coming back?!?”
