Marco Benevento “Escape Horse”/”Fireworks” is a limited edition 7-inch vinyl pressing. Only 500 copies are available. Side A is a full on piano rock barn-burner called “Escape Horse” with Marco joined by none other than Phish bassist Mike Gordon and critically-acclaimed drummer Matt Chamberlain (to the best of our knowledge, the first time these two have ever been on the same recording together as a rhythm section). Side B is a lilting tarantella-like waltz that sets up one of Benevento’s ever infectious melodies entitled “Fireworks.” The rhythm section is comprised of Reed Mathis on bass and Andrew Barr on drums.
Marco Benevento is wrapping his year, as has become tradition, by visiting the West Coast for a nine date tour. As some of you have heard by now, he'll have a new limited pressing 7-inch single available at these shows. Side A is a full on piano rock barn-burner called "Escape Horse" with none other than Mike Gordon on bass and Matt Chamberlain on drums (to the best of our knowledge, the first time these two have ever been on the same recording together as a rhythm section). Side B is a lilting tarantella-like number called "Fireworks." Be sure to grab a copy at the merch table. At some point this will be added to The Royal Potato Family store, but for now the left coast tour dates are the only place to get your hands on it.
