Dustin and Emmy Lou Benson are celebrating the birth of their second child, Elijah Scott. He made his appearance yesterday (3/10) at 9:14 a.m. (CDT), weighing in at 7 lbs 11 oz, and stretching to 21.5” long.

Dustin is the guitarist and vocalist with Special Consensus, and comes from a large bluegrass family in Alabama. I’m sure the entire Benson clan is excited to welcome little Elijah to the fold.
