“We’ve been compared to Gram Parsons & Emmylou Harris,” says Benjamin. “I think we’re more like Lucy and Ricky,” adds Courtney. The dynamic duo of Courtney Kaiser and Benjamin Cartel, KaiserCartel, formed when the two Brooklyn based musicians joined forces to tour the country in the summer of 2004. Crammed into their Toyota Prius named Gertie filled with instruments, thrift store finds, and their furry friends “The Crayons”, KaiserCartel has been touring regionally and nationally ever since.
Courtney started her career at age 2 singing “I am a lonely little petunia in an onion patch” in Indianapolis, Indiana and has continued music throughout the rest of her life. She has studied opera, Indian classical music, and the folk music of South Africa. Courtney gets her inspiration from having no biological roots and her psychic ability to predict her breakups. Courtney has played with United States Three, The Prom, John Mellencamp, Sean Lennon and has recorded with The Wallflowers.
Benjamin started his career by transcribing Black Sabbath”s “Iron man” So that he could play it on the saxophone in the sixth grade. From there, he switched to the drums and played at his high school talent night in the only band that got thrown off the stage due to the amount of uncontrollable slam dancing! Benjamin gets his inspiration from crowded subway stations, local watering holes, and New York Femme Fatales. He has played with The Heartdrops, Zombie Squad, and Benjamin Cartel.

Thank you thank you thank you thank you for coming to the sleepy town of Hot Springs, Arkansas, for Valley of the Vapors. You guys have become my new favorite band. When you stepped off the stage to sing to the audience... it was so sweetly sublime. Season Song and Okay are magical :). Also, thank you for being interviewed for my friend's documentary, and talking about Sylvia Plath! Super super love.

They are so incredible live! Such talented musicians. If you get the opportunity see them....because I can't imagine the shows being as wonderful once they start playing large venues. For the last song, they walked around the entire venue and serenaded every person there. It was really cool. I'm a total Benjamin fan girl. He's amazing. He looks like if all the Beatles mated and had a beautiful baby boy. hehe
