Happy Wednesday, dudes. It’s a light week on the site for us as we post a few random updates and maybe a few news updates, plus we have a huge Phish Friday planned, but other than that we’re kinda taking ‘er easy this week. We’ve got some cool stuff planned for next week and hope to have some news to share on Monday morning. Ahead of that, in case you missed it, I wanted to get the word out about his Marco Benevento Trio tour that was just announced for this fall, taking him all over the country and finishing up here in California.
Marco Benevento will tour the U.S. and Canada this Fall in support of his latest release, Between The Needles & Nightfall. The run begins with four nights in Canada and five nights in New England. The stretch includes a stop at the Massachusetts Museum Of Contemporary Art where Benevento will reprise his new score to the ’60s cult film House Of Usher that he debuted in August at Celebrate Brooklyn. He’ll also play two rare solo piano shows in Asbury Park and New York City. Benevento rejoins his band in November, heading to North Carolina and Virginia for three shows, including his first headline appearance in Asheville at The Grey Eagle. The tour wraps with five nights on the West Coast, returning to Doug Fir Lounge in Portland for the second time this year, as well as a Saturday night at The Independent in San Francisco.
I really wish I could check out a version of this House of Usher score that the announcement mentions. As for the second to last night in SF, I’ll be front row at the Independent like always.
