Branded Country
BIO: Branded Country Lee Benson
After 13 incredible years of playing music together as a duo across the West Valley, Wickenburg, and Jerome, my brother has officially retired from the stage due to relocating out of state. It has been an honor sharing the spotlight with him since 2013, and I am deeply grateful for all the venues, events, and fans who supported us along the way.
While the duo chapter has changed, the music isn't stopping. I am officially launching my “Branded Country Solo Act!” In addition, due to adding a new member, we are now able to perform the DUO performances.
For upcoming bookings, I am offering a fully self-contained, studio-quality solo performance. I’ll be taking the stage with my acoustic guitar, harmonica, and a live harmony pedal that delivers a rich, full-band depth. Backed by state-of-the-art sound equipment, I bring a premium, professional country music experience tailored perfectly for:
*Retirement Communities & Assisted Living Facilities** (Perfect afternoon/happy hour)
*Private Parties & Corporate Events.
*Local Venues & Community events (Within a 30-mile radius)
My 2026 calendar is already filling up, but I am currently looking to add a few more local dates for the summer and fall. If you have an upcoming date, a themed event, or a monthly entertainment slot you would like filled, I would love to bring the new sound of Branded Country to your audience.
You can always reach me directly at **** or check out my website at **** (stay tuned as I update it with new solo videos soon!).
Thank you for keeping real country music alive in Arizona. I hope to see you down the road soon!
Best regards, **Lee Benson**
Lee has always been in love with country music. This began at a very early age when he started playing on a 4-string “Roy Rodgers” guitar. After serving in the Coast Guard, he performed at various country shows and Church events in the Chicago area.
Eventually, he formed a new band called “Branded Country”, which went on to place second in the state at the GMC Country Showdown Talent Contest.
Branded Country worked the Tri-State Country Circuit for a few years before it disbanded.
Lee formed his new solo act and moved west to Phoenix, where he has been averaging 2 to 4 shows a week. As a recording artist, Lee has built a following of loyal fans. Since relocating, he has maintained a top 20 ranking in the Phoenix Chapter of ReverbNation.
