Matt Bennick Trio followed by Pat Marcinko’s Vanishing Point
Matt Bennick Trio
Matt Bennick started out playing guitar at six years old. After a few years of traditional lessons, Matt started to gravitate toward blues, jazz, and rockabilly. He started his own band at 15 and was playing up and down the east coast by age 21. Determined to make a name, Matt played with blues legend Clarence Spady, absorbing everything he could. The Matt Bennick Trio is working on original material and their first record.
