Being retired Air Force, I’m always eager to support fellow veterans. That’s why I’m thrilled to feature Rene Benton on today’s podcast. The Marine Corps veteran's guitar prowess is nothing short of extraordinary, channeling the fiery brilliance of Steve Vai, Joe Bonamassa, and Yngwie Malmsteen. Over his impressive career, he has shared the stage with legends, from rocking with Chubby Checker’s band to collaborating with Grammy-winning artists. Tune in to hear his story, his passion for music, and the journey that has shaped his incredible sound. Whether you’re a fan of virtuoso guitar or inspiring veteran stories, this episode is one you won’t want to miss! Rene Benton is Someone You Should Know.
