COVINGTON, KY –-At just 21, Ben Levin has already carved a spot for himself in the R&B world. This pianist, vocalist and song writer has been playing more than 100 shows a year, organizing festivals and winning awards, all while all while furthering his education. This prolific performer brings the blues to the Behringer-Crawford Museum amphitheater stage on July 1 for the Music@BCM concert series. First exposed to blues piano at age six when he saw his father Aron watching the Ray Charles biopic "Ray," Levin began jamming with his dad's band, The Heaters, at 11. Since then, he's been playing 100 shows a year, released three CDs, won the Dayton Blues Challenge with his piano mentor Ricky NYE on drums, organized and played in blues festivals here and abroad, and has been nominated for a Blues Music Award and two Blues Blast Magazine Awards. Levin's talent has elicited praise from critics like Mark Thompson of Blues Music Magazine, who commented, "The phrase 'old soul' certainly applies to Ben Levin. It’s remarkable that he has managed to learn much of the essence of the blues piano traditions at such a young age." The family-friendly performance takes place in BCM's outdoor amphitheater at 1600 Montague Road-Devou Park, Covington, KY 41011. Admission is $5 for adults and free for children ages 3-12. Performances run from 7 to 9 p.m. Doors open at 6 p.m. with adult beverages and food available for purchase. Parking is free. In the event of rain, the music moves inside the museum and attendance may be limited. The museum will follow all local and state mandates for the safety of patrons.
