EJ Cox has music running through his blood. Born and raised in Florida, EJ's great-grandfather and grandmother played “Old Time” fiddle; there are also banjo pickin’ cousins. Learning by ear, Cox began playing an old upright piano at lake BBQ’s around the age of seven & would soon be performing at church for a packed congregation. Once EJ left for college at Auburn University, he decided to trade the keys for a guitar & hasn’t stopped writing since.

Cox is “Roots Country” and his debut album, "River Town" is evidence that he remains true to the musical foundations that first made Country popular.

When the “River Town” album was released, EJ was able to debut, "Up 'Round Monterey", one of the singles from the album, at The Bluebird Café, in Nashville. "An experience and a feeling hard to describe, performing a new song in a place with so much history, where so much talent has come through the doors!” EJ currently resides in the Rocky Mountain state of Colorado.

Since his solo performance at "The Bluebird Cafe", Cox put together a band of Southern California Americana all stars who have played with everyone from Jeff Bridges and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, to Clint Black and Roger Miller. The EJ Cox Show sold out the famed Maverick Saloon in Santa Ynez for the "River Town" CD Release party, and hasn't stopped. Since their sold out debut at Maverick last year, Cox headlined the Seventh annual Surf Rodeo Music Festival in Ventura, CA and also played to a sold out crowd at one of Los Angeles’s most iconic venues, The Mint.

After relocating to Monterey, Cox and his band played an extended show under the Redwood Trees at Big Sur’s most notable music venue, Fernwood Resort. “Wow, I’m tellin’ ya…what a night, what a crowd! And they were really diggin’ the new stuff we’re putting on the album this fall…so that was a nice feeling”

In late 2017 EJ Cox released his second album, "The EJ Cox Band - Live At The Maverick Saloon". Cox hangs his hat in the Rocky Mountains these days, and is looking forward to touring Colorado in 2018. You can see The EJ Cox Band this summer as they headline the Minturn Summer Concert Series on the banks of the Eagle River on August 2, and also at the famous 135 year old Tabor Opera House in Leadville, CO on August 4.

It all started in 2008 with a conversation between three radio professionals and innovators. During a trip from Stuttgart, Germany, to the United States, Andreas Sannemann, a leading international audio imaging specialist and composer, and Oliver Klenk, audio production wunderkind and composer, were introduced to L.A. Radio Producer and Program Director Dave “Chachi” Denes. Their shared vision of radio’s future in the digital age led them to co-found Benztown, swiftly building a network of partners in the United States, Germany, England, Australia, and New Zealand.

In July 2010, the company grew further when Denes formed Benztown Radio Networks, an international media syndication company providing dynamic programming and features to radio stations and media companies around the world, including: The Todd N Tyler Radio Empire, Hot Mix, Sunday Night Slow Jams with R Dub!, Remote News Service, Vipology, Mr. Master, Tough Love with Siri, Ask Alexa, VS3 and Flashback.

Today, Benztown is an international radio imaging, production library, programming, podcasting, jingles, and voiceover services company, with offices in Los Angeles, New York, and Stuttgart, and over 2,300 affiliations on six continents. The company offers the highest quality imaging workparts for 23 libraries across 14 formats, including AC, Hot AC, CHR, Country, Urban, Rhythmic, Classic Hits, Rock, News/Talk, Sports, and JACK. Benztown’s industry-leading technology and proprietary Web-based imaging solution, Benztown Branding, is used daily by nearly 1,200 broadcast radio stations and digital services worldwide.

Led by founders Andreas Sannemann, Chief Executive Officer, Dave “Chachi” Denes, President, and Oliver Klenk, Head of Production and Composition, the company’s success hasn’t gone unnoticed: Benztown has been recognized for the fifth consecutive year by Inc.
