I waited years to experience Benise in person and it was worth the wait. Purchased tickets in December for his NJ performance in April. Look forward to another show close to Philadelphia.

Disappointing Performance
Hackensack Meridian Health Theatre at the Count Basie Center - Red Bank
Program was billed as Flamenco and Spanish guitar. I am a fan of both. I also watched Bernie’s PBS shows several years ago and was very impressed, and anxious to see him live. The program opened with very, very loud LED Zeppelin music. I was taken aback but waited for Spanish guitar pieces to follow. There was never a moment that I felt authentic flamenco or Spanish guitar was attained. He played some Spanish pieces and there were some flamenco dancers who gave it their best. The choreography was not the intense experience you expect from flamenco. The program just didn’t deliver an enjoyable evening for me.

A remarkable night of awe and wonder
Balboa Theatre - San Diego
Once again, my breath is taken away by one of the greatest shows on earth. There's not just live music but a full performance with dance ensembles. I have been following this artist and his band for over 21 years. It has grown better and better with each year, like a fine wine. When you see this show, you won't regret one minute of it. This is one of those events that seems like an event of a lifetime every time you see it. Roni and his crew are top tier. This is a great event to take someone for a birthday or a date. It will keep you up awake and thrilled from your seat. It will move you, inspire you and be pleasant to both the eyes and ears. The short previews and video clips online do not do it justice. Get VIP and orchestra tickets if you can. They sell out really fast.

Bio
All the world's a stage, and the Spanish guitar is one of its greatest instruments. Benise is bringing his Flamenco-inspired pieces and tango-infused dance numbers to the stage, leaving all who hear him spellbound in his wake. Benise is a world-renowned guitarist who has brought his unique blend of Spanish guitar and world music to stages worldwide since the early 2000s. His 2022 tour, aptly named the "20th Anniversary Tour," showcases the best of Benise throughout the years by virtue of music and dance.
His passion for the guitar has taken him on an incredible journey from the streets of Omaha to busking in Southern California and finally to the world stage. Known as "The Prince of Spanish Guitar," Benise has been wowing audiences worldwide with his sizzling music and spellbinding dance for over two decades, rocking fans across the globe with his sultry blend of Spanish guitar and world rhythms, winning the hearts of millions of fans worldwide.
The result: a mesmerizing feast of sight and sound from which no audience member will ever want to escape. Benise has truly mastered an international style of music having been influenced by nearly every genre possible, with great depth and passion vibrating underneath.
Growing up on a farm in Nebraska, his devotion to rock music was palpable. That success was just a twinkle in Benise's eye before finally picking up flamenco music in 1994. From there, he met violinist Jim Sitterly, guitarists Gilberto Gonzales and Yussi, bassist Mychal Lomas, drummer Carlos Lopez, and percussionist CG Ryche and formed a band (also) called Benise.
Benise's sound is primarily influenced by flamenco music and incorporates elements spanning Brazilian samba, Cuban salsa, Parisian waltz, African drumming, and more. The magic happens by bringing together musicians from different countries to create a unique sound that melds their cultures through music.
A significant turning point in Benise's career came when PBS approached him to create a show for its "Great Performances'' series. He spent time writing and recording what would become "Nights of Fire!" -- which made its broadcast debut on public television stations nationwide in 2006 and subsequently won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Costumes for a Variety or Music Program.
Since its debut, "Nights of Fire!" has drawn in audiences of all types -- whether or not they have any familiarity with flamenco music. Dazzling lights, dancers and aerial performers make you feel like you're experiencing something transcendent rather than just listening to a concert.
Benise's ability to reproduce sounds from around the world makes him a force of nature. His original style has earned him worldwide recognition, while he continues to push the envelope. Don't miss out on this unique spellbinding performance and see Benise live when he comes to a city near you.
