Marco Benevento returned on Wednesday with his first release of 2022, “Winter Rose”. The track comes from a yet-untitled album set for release this summer and follows the lead single “At The End Or The Beginning“.
“Winter Rose” once again hears Benevento collaborating with Al Howard as he did on “At The End Or The Beginning”. The San Diego-based lyricist and poet brings poignant verbiage to Benevento’s interminably upbeat composition with the refrain, “If every thorn came with a winter rose, then everything was worth it, yes, I suppose.” Emerging from the solace that was the past two years, Benevento is armed with a celebration of the light ahead rather than the darkness behind.

The new track finds the Joe Russo’s Almost Dead keyboardist manning all of the instruments with the exception of African percussion courtesy of Mamadouba ‘Mimo’ Camara. Marco will rejoin his bandmates Karina Rykman (bass) and David “DB” Butler (drums) for shows in Ardmore, PA (2/25) and Washington, D.C. (2/26). See below for a full list of tour dates.
