Marco Benevento just announced a large set of tour dates that support the release of his new album entitled, Between The Needles & Nightfall. I’ve personally been a huge fan of everything Marco Benevento over the past few years and his solo work continues to impress me beyond my impressed baseline that formed when I first saw him sitting opposite Joe Russo. He’s truly a musician’s musician, with his approach, his touring schedule, his pitch-bending toys and his prolific release schedule all being continually inspiring for me and many of my friends. We just can’t say enough good things about this weirdo.
I know these aren’t the only dates we’ll see from this crew in the near future, because they all need to find themselves a way to High Sierra Music Festival just like they do every year. I’ve already heard they’ll be there and the Surprise Me Mr. Davis dates support that by showing some time in San Francisco right after the festival. I imagine Marco will be hanging along with them the whole time.
Read on for the dates.
