Benjamin Booker + Olivia Jean: 3 April 2015 – Williamsburg, NY (Photos)

Benjamin Booker‘s Friday night set at the Music Hall of Williamsburg was sold out. That was to be expected, given that the young guitarist, now based in New Orleans, has been drawing a lot of from their festival performances last year as well as his solid self-titled debut album and his Live at Third Man Records release earlier this year. Booker’s guitar prowess allows him to blend garage rock with blues, roots, and other elements to create an enthralling set. Jack White is a fan.

Nashville’s Olivia Jean opened the night with her band. She is signed to White’s Third Man label (the same place responsible for Booker’s live album) and played a wild rockabilly set on her guitar as she sang material from her debut album Bathtub Love Killings.

Booker is on tour now and throughout the summer including many large festivals, dates are listed below. Photos from their sets at the Music Hall are below as well as a live performance clip of Booker.
