Brendan Benson (born November 14, 1970) is an American musician and singer-songwriter. He plays guitar, bass guitar, keyboard, and drums. He has released seven solo albums and is a member of the band The Raconteurs.

Lapalco is the second album by American singer-songwriter Brendan Benson, released in 2002. The name "Lapalco" is in reference to Lapalco Boulevard, a major highway which runs through Harvey, Louisiana, where Benson spent part of his youth. The street name is an acronym of "LouisianA Power And Light COmpany", the former name of the power company that owned the right of way to the property that the highway was built on. Cover and design was done by Roe Peterhans and photography by Andy Kemp.

The song "Tiny Spark" featured on an episode from the fourth series of Teachers, as well as in the feature films Along Came Polly, and World's Greatest Dad.

The Alternative to Love is the third album by American singer-songwriter Brendan Benson, released in 2005. The song Cold Hands (Warm Heart) was featured on the Bones episode A Boy in the Tree[12] and the Smallville episode "Exposed". The song "What I'm Looking For" was sampled on an iPod touch commercial, as well as in the film Ghost Town. This is the last solo album Benson released before beginning the project band The Raconteurs with fellow Detroit native Jack White of The White Stripes.

The track "Flesh And Bone" was used in series one of the E4 drama Skins.
