Join Woodbury Brewing Company in welcoming back Dan Rodriguez and Benny Bassett!!

Dan: Hi, I’m Dan. I’m a whiskey & beer drinking, fishing & hunting loving, motorcycle riding, quality food eating, hippie sympathizing, people loving, husband & father who lives in Minneapolis and shares a life with my amazing wife and two adorable sons named Oak and Alder. I grew up in the suburbs of Detroit, MI, and moved to Minneapolis when I was 18 to study music, and I stayed because I’m one of those crazy people that enjoys the snow and cold weather.

Music is my trade & performing it for people is my passion. When I’m not in my studio writing songs and cutting records, or on the road playing shows, I’m usually tending to our backyard chickens, eating fresh veggies from my wife’s huge garden, making syrup from our city maples, or doing one of my many outdoor hobbies.

About Benny: With a profound ability to connect through heartfelt lyrics and stripped-down performances, Benny Bassett has established himself as a “master songwriter” . From his early beginnings playing in bands in high school and college, to fronting Chicago-based band Vintage Blue, all the way to captivating audiences at Summerfest and Mile of Music, Bassett has “embraced the selflessness of contentment”. His musical journey has been one of authenticity and emotional storytelling.

Drawing inspiration from personal experiences and the world around him, Bassett's songs explore themes of love, heartbreak, self-discovery, and the complexities of the human condition. His most recent album, "What You Believe," received a New Mexico Music Award, and stands as a testament to his introspective style and ability to convey raw emotions. Among his fans, tracks like "Live Where You Love The Sky" and "Same Mistake" have resonated deeply with audiences, earning praise for their relatable narratives and heartfelt delivery.
