Some music cannot be found on a map or within an iTunes category. Some music is so original, that it is nearly impossible to put it in a box. This is the music of Toubab Krewe, the vibrant Asheville, NC-based instrumental powerhouse that creates a sonic Pangaea that lustily swirls together rock, African traditions, jam sensibilities, international folk strains and more. The band actively draws inspiration from whatever source floats into their purview, something they've exhibited in their half decade of heavy gigging, including regular appearances at major U.S. festivals like Bonnaroo, High Sierra, Rothbury and Wakarusa, and abroad at such legendary gatherings as Festival In The Desert in Mali.


Long a cult favorite on the East Coast jam-band/ avant-jazz circuit,  keyboardist/"sound sculptor" Marco Benevento has been building a nationwide following due to his jaw-dropping improvisational skills and a no-genres-barred approach to his craft. Benevento, a melodically inventive musical adventurer, artfully employs pedals, amplifiers, circuit-bent toys and sundry effects around his acoustic piano set-up. He has forged a fascinating repertoire of songs, including both wildly original compositions and renditions of those by the likes of Leonard Cohen, Pink Floyd and My Morning Jacket. Benevento's primary focus is his trio with which he's released three critically acclaimed solo albums that have led to a number of prestigious appearances, including Carnegie Hall, Montreal Jazz Festival and Celebrate Brooklyn.
