The band delivers originals and cover music, performing a mix of reggae, folk, rock, funk, jam, blues, soul, hip-hop, and more.
According to their biography, Friends with Benny’s began as a collaboration between friends of three previously, (and currently), successful local bands. Sharing a common vested interest in musical expression, and an unparalleled appreciation for an array of genres, they combined to create the super-group they are to-date.
Last Call will perform at the Tioga County Fair on Saturday, from 6 to 10 p.m.
Be it tightly played tributes with a twist, or sui generis compositions of front man, Benjamin Borko; from Funk to Folk, Rock to Reggae, and everything before and between, Friends with Benny’s is bound to please!
Benjamin Borko, lyrics, vocals and rhythm/lead guitar (and namesake of this eclectic group), is backed by the precision percussion of Joseph Soprano and sublime rhythms of bass guitar player Jacob Brennan.
The band has performed regionally, and was awarded at the 2016 Annual Maple Festival at the Troy Fairgrounds in Troy, Pa.
