One of the first things you notice at a Duo gig is the stage setup. The drumset and keyboard enclave sit side-by-side, facing each other at the stage's lip. You're not quite sure where to look, especially when Marco Benevento and Joe Russo take the stage and start locking eyes with each other, navigating their way through improvised jams with skill and eye contact alone. There's no discernable frontman and no onstage gimmickry, but you know what? It works. The Benevento/Russo Duo wants you to focus on the music, and that's enough to hold your attention for even the longest of jams.

    That's not true, The Join is just Shields and Shearer + 2 guests from another band -- hence the name "Join." They've played with 2 guys from the Disco Biscuits before, as well as with Brothers Past (I think)."

    But I will agree that the shows they did with the Duo were phenomenal :-)

    Just saw these guys at Outside Lands. Positively amazing. I've vowed never to miss them when they come to the SF Bay Area ever again.
