Marco Benevento

An inventive keyboardist and singer, the New York-based Marco Benevento is a broadly inspired performer known for his expansive, psychedelic sound. A graduate of Berklee College of Music, Benevento's musical palette is both deep and wide with roots in modern creative jazz, indie rock, jam band, and post-rock/experimental styles. He has been a member of the New York experimental music scene since his involvement in the Jazz Farmers from 1999 to 2001, and he's also been a member of Benevento Russo Duo and fronted his own band since 2006, issuing a bevy of wide-ranging albums, including 2009's Me Not Me, 2012's TigerFace, and 2019's Let It Slide. Along with performing, Benevento is the founder and recording engineer of Fred Short, a studio in Upstate New York where he recorded 2022's Benevento. Drawing inspiration from '60s Italian film soundtracks, he delivered 2026's Glera.
