He has but one name, Kosh, but he is one of the most celebrated and influential album-cover artists EVER. Chances are you already own several pieces of art created by Kosh. Kosh is from Los Angeles by way of London. He’s got hundreds of album covers to his credit, and if Kosh didn’t do that cover, well...not to worry, he knows who did, and he’ll introduce you. And by the way: If you are a student of the visual arts, or just somebody who appreciates them, you can pick up a lot from listening to Art of Rock. Great, great storytelling, it’s candid, sometimes a little raunchy. Kosh was right there for a lot of Rock history, and he’ll tell you about ALL of it. Proud part of Pantheon - the podcast network for music lovers.

episode 3: Aaron Rapoport
In Episode 3 of ‘Art of Rock with Kosh & Friends’ our host invites long time collaborator Aaron Rapoport to Aftermaster Studios in Hollywood to discuss their years of working together. Rapoport is an American photographer, best known for his photographs of musicians. In a career that spans over three decades, Rapoport has photographed in a wide variety of areas including commercial photography, but his work in album covers is particularly well known.
Kosh and friend Aaron dive into some uncharted territory, like where is Cher’s tattoo exactly? Lots’ o fun with REO Speedwagon and Kevin Cronyn. The real story of the flight case featured on “Eagles Live ‘80”. The two do get serious as they discuss working on the Lynyrd Skynyrd album, “Street Survivors” just before the infamous plane crash. A must hear to believe.
Aaron is still a working photographer based in Los Angeles.
