Marco Benevento Turns Bearsville Into His Own Beautiful Planet

Brainstory brought the California soul, Kendra McKinley delivered a spectacular “Turandot,” and Benevento brought the pajama pants. Whatever Marco Benevento is putting in the Lambrusco, Bearsville should keep serving it.

Benevento wore pajama pants, apparently prepared to turn Bearsville into his own funky bedroom dance party. Considering the music he brought with him, it seemed like a reasonable proposition. Marco Benevento Brings Gle...
