February East Coast Mini-Tour

This Wednesday I’ll be kicking off this month’s mini-tour, which will take me through Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia before I wrap it up by joining Saint Anyway for a few shows in the far western parts of North Carolina. This is not only an excuse to escape what February will surely be doing to Boston; it’s also a great chance to play in some new places (these will be my first shows in CT, PA, or NC) and revisit some old favorites (Charlottesville!). Hope that you can make it out to one or more of these shows.

As you’ll notice on the “Performances” page, I’m also sketching out the next two months: March will be a return to New England and New York (including another show at Pianos and a showcase in Boston), but April will involve a drive back out to the Midwest and a quick detour to California in the middle of all that. Keep checking back as these tours are updated.

That’s all for now. Hope to see you somewhere along the east coast this month!

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!

New Site and Winter Tour

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.
