Benjamin Hunter, Artistic Director of Northwest Folklife, is a Seattle-based creative & cultural entrepreneur and advocate, and an award winning multi-instrumentalist & composer. As co-founder of ventures like Black & Tan Hall, The Hillman City Collaboratory, Community Arts Create, and The Rhapsody Project, he builds artist-led ecosystems that blend performance, placemaking, and cultural equity—redefining how folk traditions scale and evolve in contemporary markets. Through his music, Benjamin attempts to connect his lived experiences and admiration for world music into one musical language, scanning the margins and nucleus alike for stories and intersections where humanity converges.

In 2016, his America roots duo with Joe Seamons took first place in the International Blues Competition. In 2018, Benjamin composed the music for the critically acclaimed production, Black Bois. With his primary instrument the violin, he is as comfortable playing classical as he is blues and jazz. City Arts Magazine wrote, “ The music he plays not only spans an array of genres but a huge swath of history.” Living Blues magazine wrote, “An unbridled freedom and genre emancipation is evident in Ben Hunter’s music, yet the deep blues are a cornerstone of his style”.
