Benedict Arnold

Benedict Arnold started off as a live instrumental group in 2005, playing a range of genres from jazz to hip-hop. Their sound was completed when musicians Sage Atwood (Guitar), Jesse Brayman (Drums), Sean Cahalin (Bass), and Dan Bolton (Keys) met Buxton Shippy, an MC from Fitchburg, MA. His expressive flow balanced out the musical ideas already in place, and helped to establish the group as something new in the local music scene. After two years on the grind, the groundwork was laid for their new album "The Night Cafe." Gaining notoriety for their dynamic live performances, the band has set the stage for the next chapter of their career.
