Ben- nett this Saturday night at the Greenbank Hall. Willie B. Bennett as a song- writer blends the philosophy of a humanist with the imagery of adreamer. His songwriting is not his only talent as he demonstrates through the use of a guitar, har- monica and his baritone voice.

His first performance was in 1970 and he formed his first band "The Bone China Band" in 1973. Two years later he went solo and recorded his first album "Trying To Start Out Clean." At the same time he was a featured harmonica player with "Dixie Flyers," a Canadian bluegrass band. Since 1979, Willie B. Bennett has performed in every major festival in Canada. His music is heard from coast to coast and as faraway as Europe. In the early 1990s he signed to the independent Dark Light Music Ltd. record label. In July last year his sixth album enti- tled Take My Own Advice was released. The album features a collec- tion of country, roots and zydeco songs with other pleasant sur- prises.
