Benny Benack III enjoys the rare distinction of being a multiple category, Downbeat Magazine "Rising Star" as both a male jazz vocalist and trumpet player. Above and beyond a roster of jazz luminaries, he has played with Josh Groban, Diplo, Ben Folds, and a multi-hyphenate Isaac Mizrahi. Continuing themes from last year's DCWJBF, Benack's resume includes episodes with "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" house band — you can also catch him on Emmet Cohen's "Emmet's Place" livestream. Benack has deeply musical Pittsburgh roots. His grandfather Benny Benack wrote "Beat 'em Bucs."
