Jared Benjamin

On 8 October 2026, Jared Benjamin brings his narrative pop to King Tut's Wah Wah Hut in Glasgow. The Long Island songwriter builds hook-led tracks on crisp guitar work and contemporary production, with lyrics that play like small scenes from everyday life. He picked up the guitar during the pandemic, started releasing originals in 2021, and honed his craft at BerkleeNYC, where he earned a master’s in songwriting and production in 2023. Songs like Superhero, Flatline and Three Steps Ahead have circulated online, resonating with listeners drawn to his visual, sentimental storytelling.

Live, Jared navigates between stripped-back confessionals and fuller, cinematic arrangements, keeping the focus on clear melodies and direct emotion. Expect intimate vocals, tight dynamics and choruses that stick without frills, plus room for new material alongside reworked favorites. Special guests round out the night, opening the stage before Jared delivers a set that puts songwriting front and center at this Glasgow date.
