LIVE FIVE: Ben Benavente, Karl Denson, Schizophonics, Matt Heinecke, Frankie & the Witch Fingers
Dec 26
Ben Benavente specializes in Hawaiian and island style music, citing Jack Johnson, Bruno Mars, and local star Jason Mraz among his influences. He calls it a “softer reggae,” creating entire songs on the fly by looping and pre-recording the drums, piano, and bass guitar, and then accompanying himself by singing live and playing ukulele.
Karl Denson
Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe at the Sound
Dec 27
Sax player Karl Denson is known from playing and touring with the Rolling Stones and Lenny Kravitz’s band, and he co-founded and led The Greyboy Allstars. His current ensemble Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe will throw a Kosmic Konvergence in Del Mar, accompanied by guest singer-keyboardist Nigel Hall of the band Lettuce.
Schizophonics
The Schizophonics at the Casbah
Dec 28
Founded in 2009, the Schizophonics plays fuzzy, psychedelic rock. In addition to frequent national tours, they’ve also toured overseas and New Zealand and are regulars on the underground festival circuit. Here in San Diego, they’ve worked with local heroes such as John Reis (Rocket From the Crypt) and Mike Stax (The Loons), as well as frequent on-stage collaboration with El Vez, aka the Mexican Elvis (aka Robert Lopez of the Zeros). The bill includes Mittens and Los Pinche Pinches.
Matt Heinecke
Matt Heinecke at Farmer & the Seahorse
Dec 29
Singer-songwriter Matt Heinecke has over two decades of professional experience as an accomplished singer, guitarist, and acoustic troubadour. He’s become a regular presence at local eateries, lounges, and hotels specializing in light entertainment. In concert, he performs solo, with a repertoire that covers a wide range of genres, from classic rock to ‘80s and ‘90s pop, top 40, jazz, and solo classical guitar.
Witch Fingers
Frankie & the Witch Fingers at Soda Bar
Dec 30
Founded in Indiana circa 2013 and currently based in LA, Frankie & the Witch Fingers is essentially a psych-punk band that throws in touches of post-punk, psychedelic rock, and even Afrobeat. Songs explore themes like technology and its influence and misuse, as on their 2017 full-length Brain Telephone and their apocalyptic 2023 album Data Doom.
