Marco Benevento – January 19th – Quixote’s True Blue

Estimated read time 7 min read

Imagine you are sitting at a poker table in an old west saloon. Marco Benevento is playing piano. Eyes around the table twitch, the all-night girls beckon from the balconies, hands slide uneasily over six shooters under the table. When someone is caught cheating the table is upended, poker chips and whiskey fly through the air, Benevento’s thunderous riff comes in signaling the hero to run for his horse tethered outside and ride through the desert. Get ready for a wild ride!

Estimated read time 9 min read

You may know him as the man behind the dirty Wurlitzer of the Benevento-Russo Duo or you may remember him as the left hand man of Garage A Trois, but you should know him as the riff mastermind soundscape artist Marco Benevento. While he is certainly a man about…everywhere, his trio of three years, as well as his new album, ‘Tigerface,’ is where it’s at.

Garage A Trois – December 17th – Cervantes’ Ballroom

Estimated read time 1 min read

Saturday night saw the return of Jam supergroup Garage A Trois to Denver’s Cervantes’ Ballroom. Featuring Stanton Moore on Drums, Skerik on the Sax, Mike Dillon on Percussion, and relative newbie Marco Benevento on Keys, the night featured some seriously psychedelic instrumentals the drew influence from Jazz, Rock, Funk and even a little metal. By all accounts it was a crazy night in Five Points and Ben Wilson was there to capture the night in photos for us.
