What a pleasure to see this announcement! Someone ran a thread about the best guitarist a while back, and I chose Bennett. There are many guitarists who get all the notes and miss the song completely. And many other great ones, too. Bennett just happens to be my favorite guitarist to listen to because he has such a strong sense of melody and impeccable phrasing. For someone who can make a guitar sing, he never plays too many notes. And Lorraine is always a delight. If you can make it down to Brooklyn, You're guaranteed of a memorable evening of Museum.

And I don't even get paid to say this..

Concur and Second! (in this case, I guess 3rd) every NEFFA Bennett and I always make time to find a quiet corner & play fiddle tunes on guitar together, taking turns playing lead. . . and every year we say the same thing "I enjoy playing backup and watching you more than I do playing lead." Great musician. . . remember when he and Lorraine first got together (can it be 17 years already!!??) and they've gotten really tight as musicians (as well as being married to each other) come watch love on stage!

Boston based duo Lorraine and Bennett Hammond play in perfect complement.
