Ben Covello BIO
Ben Covello is a New York Music Director, Pianist/Conductor, Guitarist, and Vocal Coach.
He was recently touring the country (and world!) as part of the Rent 25th Anniversary Farewell Tour where he served as Music Director/Piano/Conductor as well as Associate Music Director/Keys 2/Guitar 2 (Ben likes to wear many metaphorical hats. He can't really pull off the physical hat look, but that's ok!) He also had a stint subbing the keys 1 chair for Wicked on Broadway.
Off-Broadway, Ben has been and continues to be involved with exciting new productions, Music Directing and playing piano for a new production at BAM that has a planned international run, as well as another New York run, and playing for many new developmental workshops at various illustrious (and not so) illustrious spaces, including Lincoln Center, Ripley-Grier Studios, the Manhattan Theatre Club, and Pearl Studios, to name a few (you decide the illustrious-ness of each).
When not working on Touring, Broadway or Off-Broadway shows, or developing new shows, Ben can almost always be found Music Directing and playing piano for shows at 54 Below, Birdland, Green Room 42, and Jazz at Lincoln Center. He probably spends more time behind the piano at 54 below than his own living room. As they say, 54 Below is Broadway's living room, they just left out "also Ben's".
As a vocal coach, Ben works with established Broadway stars as well as up and coming vocalists in the theatre industry and beyond.
Ben also is involved with various arranging, orchestrating, and writing projects. He also plays piano and is involved frequently with the arranging and recording process with Robyn Adele Anderson's solo projects and a hodge-podge of the musicians of Post-Modern Jukebox.
