Marco Benevento’s Brain
Marco Benevento will make his third
appearance on Relix’s Cold Turkey later
this month to celebrate the release of
his first solo studio album,
Invisible Baby. But, taking a
cue from our regular Jambands.com Reader
Interviews, the enthusiastic keyboardist
will field questions primarily submitted
by Jambands.com and Relix readers. So,
if there is something you’ve always
wondered about Benevento’s new CD,
weekly residency at New York’s Sullivan
Hall, arsenal of keyboards or myriad of
other projects please send an e-mail to
mike@relix.com with the subject "My
Marco Interview." Benevento will sit
down with the Cold Turkey team the
afternoon before his CD release party at
Sullivan Hall on January 31. Also, be
sure to include your full name so we can
give you credit on the air. Benevento’s
residency at Sullivan Hall will continue
this Thursday with special guests
Stanton Moore and Marc Friedman.

the previous Thursday)
worked in some weird inverted

and in the process ended up
