The Bengsons' HUNDRED DAYS [EP] is a whirlwind tour through their most ambitious work to date: their folk opera, Hundred Days. Recorded in Brooklyn with producer Felix McTeigue (The Honey Brothers, Madi Diaz, Lucy Wainwright and celebrated Nashville songwriter for Faith Hill, Carrie Underwood), and featuring special guests Nick Petricca (Walk The Moon) and Anais Mitchell (Hadestown), the EP features huge gang vocals, booming drums and the emotionally direct lyrics and vocals the husband-and-wife writing duo are known for. Abigail (vox) and Shaun Bengson (vox, guitars, pianos, keys) are joined by Talia Mailman on classical harp, Raymond Russell on bass, and Conor Meehan on drums, as well as a coterie of special guests and singers. 

This album was made possible by the unbelievable generosity of The Bengsons' Kickstarter backers. Huge huge thanks and praise to them!

HUNDRED DAYS is the fierce, triumphant story of a young couple who fall in love, only to have their time together cut short by a fatal illness. They decide to try and live the 12 months they have left together as though it were the 60 years they had imagined they would have. They transform their apartment into a world where they can move through their 20's, 30's, 60's, 80's, and try to create the experience of a full life together. The Bengsons have been developing this piece with some of Off-Broadway and Broadway's finest talent, through workshops at theaters in California, Ohio, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Vermont, and New York, in preparation for a 2014 debut at Z Space in San Francisco.
