Benjamin Booker (born Benjamin Roderick Evans; June 14, 1989) is an American musician, singer, songwriter and guitarist. He cites The Gun Club, Blind Willie Johnson and T. Rex as influences. His music was described by the Chicago Tribune as "a raw brand of blues/boogie/soul,", by The Independent as "frenzied guitar-strumming and raw, soulful vocals that are hair-raising in intensity" and by Spin as "bright, furious, explosive garage rock."

"Booker and his band hit us up hard with a voluminous mix of fierce rock, blues, boogie and punk attitude that cockily struts like glam."
"You really can't force it. You really have to sit back and wait for things to come to you, because when you really try to sit down and just crank out a song it always sucks - at least for me it always sucks."
