Brendan Benson Has A New Video For "Pretty Baby" And Tour Dates (Europe & USA)

Brendan Benson’s new video for the track, Pretty Baby, was directed by Young Hines. Young Hines is also the first signing to Benson’s own label, Readymade. If you are looking at the name “Brendan Benson” and thinking “I know him from somewhere” you are right. He was a founding member of The Raconteurs. Tour dates are below as well as the video.

Good comparisons for his music are Todd Rundgren and Harry Nilsson—perhaps more of the latter. Pretty Baby is off the fifth Benson solo effort, What Kind of World.

There is also a design contest for a commemorative poster for the album, What Kind Of World. The prize for winning is $500 and some other stuff. Find out more HERE.
