Mind giving me a spin? open.spotify.com/artist/7hqTD...

I was intending to release this song as a single but decided to do "Apothecary" instead. Downside is this one has barely any streams on it. It's a shame, because I think it's a pretty good one. I wrote it the day after John Prine passed: open.spotify.com/track/3VqUY2...

Buying vinyl records, CDs, and other merch is a great way to tangibly support an independent musician. I've got some stuff up on my website. If you dig what I'm doing, or are looking for a gift, click here: jasonbenefield.com/store

“Apothecary” is a year and almost a month old and I appreciate everybody who’s been streaming it recently. Share it with your friends and head to my website for a physical copy! jasonbenefield.com

Got a new batch of QR code stickers from the beautiful people at @stickerjunkie.bsky.social. These are perfect for venue bathroom walls and the occasional lamppost. They’re also much nicer than the ones I used to get from a problematic hot sauce company.

10/4 @ 7pm: Song Swap with Scott McNeil at Black Dog Vinyl Cafe in Plainfield, IL 10/7 @ 12pm: Studio A Cafe at WNIJ in Dekalb, IL (to be there live register at northernpublicradio.org/studioacafe) Song: “January”

This song is not remotely explicit, and I'm far from puritanical, but I was hesitant to sing it live, let alone record it, because I felt like nobody would want to hear me of all people sing a song that references sex even in a roundabout way. open.spotify.com/track/6hbHTj...

Hey Chicagoland. Got a big show coming up on Wednesday with my friends Gina Marie & The Golden Bucks at Hey Nonny and you should definitely be there. Tickets here: www.heynonny.com/shows/gina-m...

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.

I won’t be laying low over the next 7 days. I’ll be too busy doing cool stuff with some of my impossibly talented friends. 🧵

Re-upping this. Hope you can give this record a spin and, if you dig it, grab a vinyl or CD copy at jasonbenefield.com.

My first LP, “Apothecary,” is one year old this weekend. Give it a celebratory spin on your favorite streaming service, or head to jasonbenefield.com and grab a physical copy!

Good morning and 🐻⬇️

A little piece of “Hunter’s Moon,” a song I wrote about depression.

I posted this song earlier. It's a newer one that I didn't even name until a week or so ago. I grew up Southern Baptist and now am more or less agnostic, but this song is a commentary on Christian hypocrisy and greed. This verse, in particular, resonates this week. www.tiktok.com/@jasonbenefi...

Come see me at Brother Chimp Brewing in North Aurora, IL on 8/29!

“Tables.” I wrote this a few months ago, but this verse feels pretty relevant this week. Honestly, it’s relevant more often than it should be.

A verse and a chorus from a song I wrote last October, “Poets and Prophets.”
