Jim Bennett

Jim Bennett grew up with a love for music in a town known as Pomfret, MD. He started playing music at the age of 10, and has continued entertaining for the last 45 years. During his youth he played various wind instruments such as the trumpet, trombone and tuba. As time progressed, he picked up an interest in the guitar. He later formed and managed a group called the Family Reunion Band, which consisted solely of family members. The Family Reunion band later branched out into two other groups, which left time for him to nurture his talent with more seasoned performers. During that time, he had the opportunity to back up groups and artists such as, Sonny Till and the Orioles, The Manhattans, Roy C, Millie Jackson, Lee Fields, Clarence Carter and others.

Bennett along with Lady Mary had been part of Hardway Connection before doing their own record as a duet in 1999 called "Still Lovin'" on Bennett's own imprint, ja Ben. Since then he's released a steady stream of Southern Soul albums with Lady Mary or solo.
