HT Giveaway: Marco Benevento Prize Pack

HT fave Marco Benevento has a full dance card for the next few months as he takes his trio up and down the East and West Coasts this fall. The run includes residencies at both Radio Bean in Burlington, Vermont and at the Red Door in Portsmouth, New Hampshire and a House of Usher Halloween show on October 29 at Burlington’s FlynnSpace.

For the West Coast dates, Marco will perform with Borger and Tea Leaf Green’s Reed Mathis on bass/guitar.
