With his partner Jamie Isaacson, Benjamin has been putting on the North Atlantic Blues Festival in Rockland, Maine, for the past eight years. While many other festivals experienced a slump this year due to the slowing economy, the NABF actually saw a 50 percent increase in attendance. And its not just fans who love this festival idyllically set along the picturesque Bar Harbor. During her performance this year Shemekia Copeland dragged Benjamin out on stage to thank him.
