Local Music: In the Raw

From screeching out wicked rock verses to belting out Canadian opera at the top of his lungs, Jackson Bengtsson, 22, shows no fear with a microphone in hand.
Bengtsson is a Western Washington University student studying psychology after transferring from Willamette two years ago. He has been involved with the members of this band, which remains un-named, for about a year. The band mates consider themselves to be metal-core, which is a combination of pop, punk, and soft metal, Bengtsson said.
“You know what makes me feel better about being a singer?” Bengtsson said. “I can do other musical things.”
Bengtsson plays guitar and piano, and spends a lot of his time producing his own music, he said.

Bengtsson is also an off and on member of Western’s A’Capella men’s group, Undefined.
