Cosmic Superheroes is a Raleigh-based original rock band with deep roots and wide branches. Since forming in 2014, the group has woven together funk, pop, jazz, blues, and jam influences into an unmistakable sound that’s as high-energy as it is heartfelt. Whether you catch them at a local dive, a beachside brewery, or a packed-out music hall, Cosmic Superheroes always bring a live show that grooves, lifts, and surprises.

At the core of the Cosmic sound are longtime collaborators Brandon McLean (vocals, guitar) and Paul Sanders (keyboards, vocals)—the melodic heartbeat and songwriting engine behind the band’s most recognizable tunes.

Over the years, the rhythm section has remained intentionally fluid, allowing the duo to collaborate with an evolving lineup of talented drummers and bassists from across the region. This ever-shifting backbone keeps the live experience fresh, dynamic, and always a little unpredictable...just the way live music should be.

With five albums, hundreds of shows, and an orbit that keeps growing, Cosmic Superheroes isn’t just a band—it’s a shape-shifting movement.

A little funky, very cosmic, and always ready to launch into new horizons.

Let the music take you there.
