Described by the Boston Globe as “a sonic plein-air painter… [using] his piano as a paintbrush,” Ben Cosgrove has performed in every U.S. state except for Delaware, collaborated with groups ranging from rock bands to research scientists, contributed music to several radio and film projects (including the recent Ken Burns documentary The American Buffalo), and held residencies and fellowships with institutions including NASA, the National Park Service, the National Forest Service, Harvard University, Middlebury College, the Schmidt Ocean Institute, and the Sitka Center for Art & Ecology.

Ben’s music has been called “beautiful and fascinating” (The Maine Edge), “deeply impressive” (Independent Clauses), and “immediately evocative and fully arresting… brim[ming] with technical mastery and emotional capital” (Seven Days). His newest record, Bearings, is a collection of improvisation-based music reflecting upon the relationship between movement and place.

Ben is also known to Maine audiences for his work collaborating with other local acts like Ghost of Paul Revere, GoldenOak, Connor Garvey, Max García Conover, and many more
