Swift: Marco Benevento’s Unlikely Quest for Continuity

Estimated read time 11 min read

Team work makes the dream work. Instrumentalist, and songwriter/producer Marco Benevento’s most recent album “Swift” is proof of it–so much so that he named the album after one of his collaborators. With the talents of Producer Richard Swift and the lyrical genius of Aaron “Gene Ween” Freeman in his pocket, Benevento’s latest masterpiece is a graduation of his previous efforts–with the same sound that fans have come to love, but also an added lyrical seriousness. Give it a listen and go check out Benevento at the 1up Colfax this weekend.

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!

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.

Phish – 8/31, 9/1, 9/2 – Dick’s Sporting Goods Park

Estimated read time 7 min read

So, let’s get this out of the way right off the bat, was Phish’s Friday night show at Dick’s the “best Phish show of the 3.0 era?” We’re not sure how it possibly could have been. Yes it had it’s moments, mostly due to the shenanigans of nodding to last year’s “S” show by spelling out “FUCK YOUR FACE” with the setlist, but overall the show was pretty uneven musically. It just didn’t flow like the other two nights of the run that featured some of the most fluid sets we’ve heard out of this band in years.
