I’m proud to report that there’s now one more way for you to synchronize your wardrobe with your musical taste. For an attractively low price, you can proudly advertise your support of my music and live at the height of fashion at the same time:
Check it out in the store!
Thanks, by the way, to everyone who came out to the concerts in Cambridge, Brattleboro, and NYC earlier this month. Playing in New Hampshire and New York later this week. Hope to see you there!
Happy 2012, and welcome to the new, sleeker, and more colorful bencosgrove.com. Zach Arnold, who originally designed the site, has been toiling for weeks to figure out ways to make these pages better, and I’m very pleased at the results: everything is tan! There’s an accordion! There’s a store! There’s a ghostly forest at the top of the site! The performance page is easier to navigate! There is a mailing list which I encourage you to join!
For those who don’t remember the old version, this place used to look like a tundra:

Good job, Zach.
Some other good news: yesterday I played the first show of this winter’s northeastern mini-tour, which is sending me through several cool places in NYC, Boston, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, and more. For details, click on that accordion I mentioned, and please swing by for a show if it looks like I’ll coming through your city.
Thanks for all your company and support in 2011, everybody.
Happy New Year, and hope to see many of you soon.

My friend Becky is conducting a really cool cartography project over at mapyourmemories.com. This sound map of Harvard Square, Cambridge is a contribution to the project that I created with the help of another friend who happens to be an ace computer programmer. Turn on your speakers and click between regions of the map to travel between the different soundscapes (try comparing the river to the T station, for example, or the northeast to the yard):
In other news, I’m lining up a string of solo shows in some pretty exciting locations around the northeast for January and February of 2012. Come out to one of these if you can! For details, head over to the performances page of this site (updated as gigs are confirmed).
