Moonlight Benjamin

March 27, 2025 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Following a star turn at the influential globalFEST music festival, the Haitian-born Moonlight Benjamin has methodically built a memorable catalog of roots-rock music that has proven irresistible to NPR, Afropop Worldwide Radio and fans of raw, gutbucket rock and roll bands like The Black Keys and Alabama Shakes. Benjamin, “a powerful singer-songwriter with an impressive vocal range” (The Guardian) is a true-to-life Vodou priestess and fluent musician whose voice erupts through the rumbling guitar licks that accompany most of her songs. Imagine a mix of Caribbean folk, garage rock, the grit of Desert blues and 70s arena anthem hits and you’re getting close. At the heart of Moonlight Benjamin’s music is the tantalizing promise of something unknown and the mystifyingly beautiful. She’ll be playing songs from her latest album, 2023’s Wayo, and tracks from her ever-growing catalog for her first-ever performance at The Clarice.
