Born up the road from Memphis in Jonesboro, Arkansas, Art Bentley is now based in Springfield, Missouri. But he's not home much. He's been playing music for crowds all over the region for more than a decade, including Nashville, Kansas City and Wichita. On top of that, he's self-produced seven CDs that showcase his talents. Here's what local entertainment papers have to say about Art:

"Not to be dismissed solely as a cover performer, Bentley adds his own style to each song that turns them into originals."
- Kansas City's Pitch Weekly

"Art Bentley: A truly gifted vocalist with the charisma of a long-time friend.  He is an original musician whose style will not lie dormant.  Even his covers come out sounding like Art Bentley (which is very good)."
- Springfield's Local Anesthetic
