Every Single Musician I've Ever Played With
Hello friends, Samm Bennett here. This list represents an ongoing attempt to document the names of each and every musician I've ever played with, anytime, anywhere. Whether it's folks I've been in bands with for extended periods, or people I only played with once or a few times, people I recorded with or joined at some festival session or one-off gig... anything. My goal here is to get everyone onto this list who ever made any noise with me, joyful or otherwise.
I've been making music for almost 40 years now, and there are no doubt former collaborators that I'll have forgotten, at least for the moment. If you are someone I've played with, but your name isn't here, please drop a line via the CONTACT form (found under the MORE heading above). Likewise, if you are a listener who heard me somewhere along the way, an attendee of some concert long past, and perhaps know of someone who shared stage time with me who isn't included, please drop a line and let me know. Many thanks!
