Haven

Haven is made up of three brothers; Neal, Mike and Joel Benedict, along with Pat Connolly. All band members are over the age of 21 and Haven’s music would most likely be considered alternative/modern rock. Mike is the lead guitarist, Joel is the rhythm guitarist and vocalist, Neal is on bass guitar and vocals, and Pat is the drummer.

Neal, Mike and Joel are originally from a small town called New Galilee, PA outside of New Castle, PA. They had been previously playing together and composing songs since about March of 2004. In October of 2005, drummer Pat Connolly was added to the line-up and has since contributed a great depth to the songs. Pat was also born and raised in the Pittsburgh area (Baldwin, PA).

Haven sets generally include originals with some cover songs thrown in the mix. The music can be tailored to the venue atmosphere and Haven offers acoustic/unplugged sets as well.

Haven has worked hard in the music business, gaining a reputation around the local music scene as well as performing from Pittsburgh to Youngstown and hoping to branch out more
