about

Benyaro -- the indie roots project of seclusive Jackson Hole, WY musician who's worked with Gary Clark Jr., Brett Dennen and Shovels & Rope -- announces the release of his fourth full-length album, the original score to "Searching For Fortune", a feature narrative that debuted at Queens World Film Festival in 2017. A dusty tale of self-discovery in the Mountain West, the film and score reflect that space. Written and recorded by Benyaro at his home studio in Wyoming and mixed by legendary engineer Danny Kadar (Avett Brothers, My Morning Jacket, etc.).

The 3rd single off the SEARCHING FOR FORTUNE Original Score & Soundtrack is "WYOMING", an Americana song about the open spaces & powerful landscapes of the mountain west, particularly in and around Grand Teton National Park and the greater Yellowstone area, some of the most beautiful country in the world, and a man's journey to discover and ultimately live there. A growling distortion reminds and represents the always-near harshness of living at 6000+ feet in one of the coldest regions of the lower 48, giving the folk song an unexpected edge. But just like Wyoming, the edge is balanced with beautiful landscapes and soundscapes.

Rock 'n' roll with an attitude that's missing in music. This album earned Sturgill all sorts of accolades and 'broke' him, so they say. We like him cause he's nobody's bitch. Benyaro
