ABOUT 'IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BENAVIDES'

Mario Benavides might be playing his final college football game in New Orleans on January 2^nd, but Sugar, he’s going down singing. His newest release, ‘It’s All About The Benavides’ take inspiration from those men he is closest to. After breaking onto the scene as a Texas boy, with country in his heart, he brings us a new-look sound resultant of getting uniquely close to Teddy Bridgewater. Through immaculate infection, Mario now crosses the line into gangster rap. In ‘It’s All About the Benavides’, Mario throws a block party and he’s the center of attention. While the urban influence is abundantly apparent, Mario has also seen a little sunshine in his life. Will Stein brings the Caucasian persuasion that illicit such Americana as Bob Dylan, Toto and Brian Wilson’s classic ‘Double Nickel’.
