ERIC BENET

Eric Benét brings his Grammy-nominated R&B and soul catalog to the Birchmere for a live performance featuring music from a career that began with his family group, Benét, and developed into a successful solo career. His work includes the hits “Spiritual Thang,” “Femininity,” “Let’s Stay Together,” “Spend My Life With You” with Tamia, “You’re the Only One,” and “Sometimes I Cry.”

Born and raised in Milwaukee, Benét grew up singing and harmonizing with his siblings before forming his first group with his sister and cousin. After the group ended, his demos led to a recording opportunity with Warner Bros. His 1996 album *True to Myself* earned widespread acclaim, followed by Grammy recognition and an NAACP Image Award for “Spend My Life With You” in 2000. He later worked with producer David Foster on *Hurricane*, released *Love & Life* in 2008, and received additional Grammy nominations. His career has also expanded into acting, television production, philanthropy, and entrepreneurship.
