Haven't heard enough about homegrown musician done good, Benjamin Booker? We've been heavy on the Booker beat since we gave him a Best of the Bay award last year — dude's been on fire, from a full album First Listen stream right now on NPR to appearances on The Late Show with David Letterman and opening slots for Jack White, not to mention his recent performance at Lollapalooza, which Rolling Stone listed in its "40 Best Things We Saw at Lollapalooza" recap, stating: "The young, New Orleans-based singer and guitar slinger has found a curiously cool cross between indie rock distortion, grunge mumble and classic blues-rock that is best experienced live and turned up to 11. Though Lollapalooza is always filled with countless rock acts, Booker may have been the strongest and most refreshing."


As the August release date of his full-length eponymous debut on ATO records inches ever closer, he ramps up his hype appearances with another late night spot, this time tonight, on Conan. Tune in at 11 p.m. and check out more photos by Tracy May from Benjamin Booker's Lollapalooza 2014 set after the jump...
