Jack & Benny Lipson

Los Angeles-native twin composers, songsters, and multi-instrumentalists Jack & Benny Lipson inject the craft of musical theater into a spectrum of sonic worlds. “Bounding towards what’s next in the world of sound,” their progressive harmonic language informed by classical and jazz, roots complements their distinctly charged lyrics that tackle everything from queer identity and consensual conduct to healthcare bureaucracy. Since their debut in 2016 with musician-comedian Reggie Watts, they’ve played their "sensational, clever, and astute" originals in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, San Diego, Sheridan, Wyoming, where they presented their ‘musicalette’ Miranda, Please! at the Wyoming Theater Festival — even in Falam, Myanmar. The Lipsons have supported such luminaries as Idina Menzel, Josh Groban, Herbie Hancock, and Barry Manilow in concerts at Disney Hall and the Hollywood Bowl. They currently work curating and creative directing events for LA Phil.
