SEE EVENT DETAILS
at The Addition - CLOSED (see times)
R&B crooner, songwriter and actor.

Eric Benét grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in the 1970s and was the youngest of five musically talented siblings. He started out singing with a group called Gerard in the late 1980s; then Benét, his sister Lisa, and his cousin George Nash Jr. formed a band called Benét and in 1992, they were signed to EMI and released a self-titled album. Two years later, Eric Benét broke onto the music scene with his solo career and signed with Warner Bros. Records, releasing his debut solo album, True to Myself in 1996. His sophomore album, A Day in the Life, was released in 1999 and featured his smash hit "Spend My Life With You (featuring Tamia)", which rose to #1 on the US Billboard R&B charts (for 3 weeks), was certified gold, and nominated for a 2000 Grammy Award for "Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group". The album also won a Soul Train Music Award for "Best R&B/Soul Album, Male".

In 2001, Benét decided to leave Warner Bros. and signed with the Reprise-distributed label, Friday Records, where he released his next studio album, Hurricane on June 21, 2005, which featured "I Wanna Be Loved" that reached #2 on the Urban Adult Contemporary chart. His fourth album Love & Life was released on September 9, 2008, debuting at #11 on Billboard 200 and #2 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. The album featured fan favorite "Chocolate Legs" and his hit single "You're the Only One", which spent 4 weeks straight at #1 on Urban AC radio and was nominated for a 2009 Grammy Award for "Best R&B Male Performance". In November 2010, Eric released his fifth album Lost in Time featuring duets with Faith Evans, Chrisette Michelle, Ledisi, and Eddie Levert of The O'Jays; plus his single "Sometimes I Cry", which reached # 1 on the Hot Adult R&B Songs Chart.

Eric Benét has successfully released six albums including his latest album in 2012, featuring hits "Real Love", "Harriet Jones", and "News for You". Very appropriately named, Benét's new album The One marks a moment of positive transition in his life and lyrically speaks to the many new beginnings developing in his career and family. The One was also the first album released on Benét's newly formed record label Jordan House Records, which he created in partnership with EMI.
