Phil & Angela Benoit - All Caught up in You (2019)

On this fifth release, they go for a bit more of an acoustic sound featuring original music, some choice standards and a tune written by Phil's brother David. There are also some surprise guest artists that add to a great mix of musicianship and fun.

Angela Benoit was born and raised in the sleepy town of Paia on the island of Maui. She has been singing virtually all of her life and has been performing professionally for 20+ years.

Phil Benoit is from Southern California and moved to Hawaii in the late 70s. He started playing the clarinet at a young age and picked up the guitar as a teenager. He, too, has been performing professionally for more than two decades.

Together they head up the Maui-based jazz group “Benoit Jazzworks” and enjoy playing their own original music, jazz standards, boss nova, pop and Hawaiian swing. Angela possesses a lovely easy-to-listen-to voice that defies comparison. Phil provides a smooth and swinging guitar to the group. They have produced and released three cds, one EP and will have a fourth recording ready for release in late 2019. They have performed in clubs, concert venues, private house concerts and more all over Hawaii and the west coast. They still perform regularly on Maui and tour the west coast annually.

They currently live in the upcountry town of Makawao on Maui and have two grown children – Kendall who lives on Maui and Max who lives in Seattle.
