Benjamin Verdoes


Benjamin Verdoes makes his second stop by BTR Live Studio — previously seen as half of the buzzing duo, Iska Dhaaf — this time performing solo, demonstrating his unorthodox approach to songwriting. Already well known in Seattle and beyond, largely due to his work with the band Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band, Verdoes is quickly building a reputation with this, the first work under his own name.

Featured song: “Evil Eye”
