For more than a decade pianist Marco Benevento has been amassing an extensive resume of composition and collaboration. In the live setting, his performances reverberate with pulsating dance rock energy. With eyes closed, smile wide across his face and fingers free-flowing across the keys, the pianist is a satellite to the muse. With a devout and growing fan-base, Benevento is an artist whose story is only beginning to unfold.

Marco is one half of the Benevento Russo Duo, an instrumental indie rock, experimental Hammond Organ, Wurlitzer Electric Piano and drum duo that he formed with drummer Joe Russo in 2001. The band makes use of samplers, loops, circuit bent toys, guitars as well as glockenspiels to augment their sound.

Marco is also a member of Garage A Trois (with Stanton Moore, Skerik and Mike Dillon) and more notably is part of Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, a Grateful Dead tribute band composed of Benevento, Joe Russo, Dave Dreiwitz, Tom Hamilton, and Scott Metzger. I was fortunate enough to catch their set at the Suwannee Hulaween Festival a few months ago and was absolutely blown away. Which the almost full set thanks to The Sober Goat.

In 2009 Benevento began his own record label with manager Kevin Calabro called The Royal Potato Family. Bands on the label include Yellowbirds, Superhuman Happiness, Nathan Moore, Wil Blades, Billy Martin, Surprise Me Mr Davis, Garage A Trois and The Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey.

Benevento just released a new 7inch for the song “Dropkick,” and, in April, his much anticipated album, The Story of Fred Short, is coming out. Below are some recent links to check out.
