ROCKETSHIP PARK is the solo joint of Mr Josh Kaufman whose work with Dawn Landes, Caithlin DeMarrais and the Serious Business family has earned him endless hugs and kisses. Rocketship's debut platter Off and Away snuck gently into ear-holes in the election year of 2008. The follow-up record, which has been gestating for a long time, is now nearing completion.
9:30
BENJI COSSA is a lovable singer and a songwriter whose playful and very catchy slices of AM Gold seem simple but are actually very very very complex. He rules. He has released several records on Serious Business (Between the Blue and the Green, Benji Cossa's Vault Vol II: Jewels and Gems, Merry Christmas to Friends and Family, Love Benji Cossa, The Rollercossa 7", Benji Cossa and the Tightens) and is currently working on a double record he's calling II.

Benji will be backed by the Key Players who on this night will include Josh Kaufman, Annie Nero, Eric Jackson, Brian Kantor, Travis Harrison, and Matt Moon. It's a safe bet that most or all of these people will also be Rocketship Park for the evening, give or take a few humans like Mike Phillips, Nate Martinez, maybe others.

Here's what TimeOut NY said about this show: "Benji Cossa is a local songwriter who creates mini pop fantasias. Listening to his work, we’re reminded of the Beach Boys, the Band and other classic groups who refused to believe that sunny, sentimental pop couldn’t be a vehicle for transcendent beauty."

Here is a song called "April" that BENJI recorded with DEVIN many years ago and which remains a classic.

Here is a Rocketship Park number called "Because, Two Candles" which was a hit jam from the first record Off and Away and points to the sound of the second record a little bit as well.

Here is a newer Benji Cossa number called Annie Delia which has Travis on drums and Josh playing guitar, bass, keys, etc. Benji wants to put a horn section on this song before it comes out on his next album which we're calling II and will probably consist of about 30 songs.
