What began as a Nashville street band evolved into one of the most distinctive voices in
contemporary music composition, blending rustic American folk traditions with Eastern
European influences, orchestral elements, and modern sensibilities.
The Blasting Company composed the critically-acclaimed and unforgettable music for
the animated series Over the Garden Wall which has amassed over 220 Million streams
globally. Defying any one genre, the band is well known for their versatility in a
multitude of musical genres, past and present.
Founded by longtime brothers Joshua Kaufman and Justin Rubenstein, the band
busked the streets of Europe and the U.S., eventually landing in Los Angeles where
they were quickly introduced to the world of film and television.
Composing ventures include songs written for Burlesque, Five-Year Engagement, their
score on the Emmy-winning animated series Over the Garden Wall, the New York
Times/Serial podcast The Kids of Rutherford County, a three-album soundtrack for a
new table top role playing campaign The Crooked Moon featuring guest vocalists Haley
Reinhart (Post-Modern Jukebox), Jemaine Clement (Flight of the Concords) and a
collaboration with legendary arranger and composer Van Dyke Parks on the single Old
Summer Reckoning.
The Blasting Company's journey embodies authentic artistic evolution and dedication
to craft. Their unique ability to blend vintage instrumentation with contemporary
storytelling has made them sought-after collaborators across diverse media, from
Emmy-winning animation to Peabody Award-caliber investigative journalism. With 400 K
monthly listeners on Spotify, their music continues to introduce new generations to their
distinctive sound that honors musical traditions while creating something entirely their
own.
