“Sculpts his pieces with playful weirdness and... heated grace..”

Marco Benevento career as a solo artist began almost unintentionally. During downtime from touring with The Benevento/Russo Duo in '06, his manager suggested he set up a residency at the late great NYC venue Tonic with some of his musical friends, such as Mike Gordon, Steven Bernstein, Claude Coleman, and Mike Dillon.
Ropeadope documented the residency, releasing it as the 3-CD set Live At Tonic. This led Marco to form his own trio for a string of sold out U.S. shows and the recording of Invisible Baby. The 30-year old keyboardist’s debut studio album, proves Benevento Trio a sonic innovator in peak form, defying boundaries and genres to carve out his own universe.
In contrast to his work with The Duo, Benevento utilizes acoustic piano as his main voice. His instinct for arranging acoustics in fresh ways remains intact as Marco runs his piano through projector amps and Leslie speakers, coloring tracks with Mellotron, Speak-N-Spell, banjo, a vintage church pump organ and circuit-bent toys.
