Jersey Shore entertainment staple
For more than two decades, The Benjamins have been one of the Shore’s busiest live acts, performing hundreds of shows annually throughout New Jersey, Pennsylvania and the East Coast.
Known for high-energy performances rather than original recordings, the band specializes in crowd-pleasing rock, pop, dance, country and party hits spanning several decades. A typical setlist can include everything from Bon Jovi, Journey and Bruce Springsteen to Luke Combs, Blink-182, The Killers, Taylor Swift and current chart-topping artists.
Their ability to seamlessly move between classic rock, pop-punk, country, ’80s favorites and modern dance music has made them a fixture at Jersey Shore bars, beach clubs, casinos, festivals and municipal summer concert series.
The Benjamins have regularly performed at venues including Jenkinson’s Boardwalk in Point Pleasant Beach, Martell’s Tiki Bar in Point Pleasant Beach, Bar Anticipation in Lake Como, Donovan’s Reef in Sea Bright, Headliner Oasis in Neptune, and numerous festivals and community celebrations across Ocean and Monmouth counties.
