Hey Hey…
How’s everyone feeling? We hope your summer is off to a good start. Marco Benevento gets back on the road this week, so we wanted to remind you all about the upcoming shows and fill you in on some other good stuff…
First and foremost, to everyone who has ordered Between The Needles & Nightfall vinyl and has waited so patiently for it to arrive, here’s the update. All the black vinyl orders have shipped. As for the limited edition red vinyl, we have a tracking number from the pressing plant and it’s on a UPS truck as we speak. It should be touching down in our office any second now. As soon as it does, we’ll be shipping it right back out to everybody who’s ordered a copy. Our apologies for the delay.
For anyone who hasn’t picked up Between The Needles & Nightfall, you can do so on vinyl, CD or mp3 here.
Onto the tour dates. The April/May run was the best Trio tour yet. The bar has been sent high for these upcoming June, July and August shows, but Marco’s hitting some amazing cities, big ones like Seattle, Portland and Montreal and little ones like Easton, Wilkes Barre and Cottage Grove. He’ll also be on the road with Surprise Me Mr. Davis, Garage A Trois, Bitches Brew Revisited as well as playing one hometown NYC acoustic show with the Benevento/Russo Duo. Get your tickets now and come hang with us.

There’s been some great press on Between The Needles & Nightfall. Here are some links we wanted to share with you.
- If you haven’t checked out the NPR All Things Considered profile on Marco yet, you can listen here.
- And just today Marco’s rendition of Amy Winehouse’s “You Know I’m No Good” was picked by NPR as their “Song Of The Day.”
- And here are two other cool interviews with our friends at The Waster and The Hidden Track.
- Marco’s homemade video for “Greenpoint.”
