Marco Benevento

Over the course of seven studio albums and countless shows around the world, Marco Benevento has amassed a devoted fanbase, while drawing praise from tastemakers far and wide. Los Angeles Times has written, “it’s safe to say that no one sees the keyboard quite like Marco Benevento's genre-blind mashup of indie rock, jazz and skewed improvisation," while NPR Music raves that Benevento combines "the thrust of rock, the questing of jazz and the experimental ecstasy of jam," and Rolling Stone praises "the textures and colors available in his keyboards and arsenal of manipulated pedals and effects along with his deceptively rich, catchy melodies and straight-ahead grooves."

Indeed, Benevento’s music covers a wide swath of ground, connecting the dots in the vast space between LCD Soundsystem and Leon Russell, His songwriting is smart and earthy, yet pulsating with dance rock energy. Benevento’s high energy live shows have led to numerous high profile appearances, ranging from Carnegie Hall to Pickathon. In the studio, he’s collaborated with the likes of Richard Swift, Leon Michels and Joe Russo among others.

On his new double album, ‘Barn Burner: Live at Levon’s,’ Marco recorded live with his band featuring bassist Karina Rykman and drummer Chris Corsico over a two night, sold out run on January 13 and 14, 2023 at Levon Helm Studios in the keyboardist’s adopted hometown of Woodstock, NY. The exhilarating 13-track set spans Benevento’s career with tracks from across his nine studio albums, including “Coyote Hearing,” “Bus Ride” and “Send It On A Rocket,” as well as a cover of Bob Dylan & The Band’s “This Wheels On Fire” with special guest Scott Metzger on guitar.
