about

"I am a singer/song-writer who hails from Millville, NJ in Cumberland County. Music has been kind of swimming around in my mind my entire life. Using piano and guitar, I have written over 50 songs over the last three years. My music is greatly influenced by individuals and bands like The Beatles, ELO, Queen, David Bowie, Jukebox The Ghost, Weezer, Sondre Lerche, Telekinesis, The Zolas, and Spoon. My main influences for my music are my wife and two children. The song, “Dream,” is a song I wrote about playing with my daughter, who was 7-years-old when I wrote it. “It’s You” was written as a love song to my wife, who loves to watch Hallmark Channel movies and an old show called The Gilmore Girls. And “No Taking It Back” was inspired by a lesson I was trying to teach my children about saying things that you might not actually mean." - Bill Benfer

"What is your favorite thing about Cumberland County?"

I grew up in Cumberland County and have fond memories of walking in the woods during the different seasons. In winter, I loved to walk down a trail behind my parents’ house where the only footprints that I could see were my own. The snow on the tree limbs and the cool, clean air always made me smile. The woodlands and the ponds and streams live forever in my mind as part of my childhood. I lived in San Diego, CA for over 11 years and always missed the beautiful fall leaves and the great green summers of Cumberland County. So, I came back to allow my two children to experience the same things growing up.
