They were described by Brooklyn Vegan as a “clean mix of Ska, Reggae, and Soul that gets dirtied up by Vic Ruggiero’s tough New York accent.”In April 2022, The Slackers released a new album, “Don't Let The Sunlight Fool Ya” (Pirates Press) which quickly sho the top of the US Billboard charts. The first time that a Slackers’ album has charted! Ironically after 30 years as a band, they qualified as a Billboard ‘new artist!’ The Washington Post noted that the Slackers “remain at the top of their game.”In 2024 the Slackers continued this momentum with 93 live shows of which 18 were sell outs. They also released a single, “What We Gonna Do Now / Pick + Choose” (Pirates Press) and reissued their classic album from 2003, ‘Close My Eyes’.In 2025, they have booked 90 shows in the United States, Canada, and Europe. Their newest single, “The One That Took Away My Last Star” is to be released May 2024 on Pirates Press Records. This will be a posthumous collaboration with / and tribute to the late, great Greg Lee of Hepcat.<iframe-embed src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/artist/2QRPuDfRA9LtoeGFaMikmK?utm_source=generator" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" height="352" width="100%" style="border-radius:12px" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="youtube"></iframe-embed><h2 style="text-align: center">Volores</h2>Created by Colorado-based couple Shelby and Nathen Maxwell (of Flogging Molly) - explores universal themes of life, love, and death through dark alternative rock, stylish post-punk motifs, and disarmingly frank lyricism. Volores’ broad appeal lies in its raw channeling of the mortal condition, including mental health struggles that they’ve not only experienced, but experienced together. Simple, yet effortlessly beautiful, their debut album ‘AGES’ celebrated the shared musical passions that brought the Maxwells together – from Leonard Cohen and Elliot Smith to The Cure and Interpol – through unfiltered expressions that cast deeply personal shadows in plain sight, coated only in intuitive melody and elegant songcraft.<iframe-embed src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/artist/7fq5eGsVQ62jJav3dQ3gpn?utm_source=generator" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" height="352" width="100%" style="border-radius:12px" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="youtube"></iframe-embed><h2 style="text-align: center">5150</h2>Hailing from the gritty streets of Denver, Colorado, 5150 is a raw, high-energy punk rock outfit that’s shaking up the scene with a fierce DIY ethos.&nbsp; Formed in 2024, the band is fronted by 14-year-old prodigy Tiago aka Cheese, whose blistering guitar riffs and snarling vocals channel the rebellious spirit of punk’s golden era.&nbsp; Backed by his dad, RyBlastr, on bass and background vocals, and seasoned punk veteran Robdogg on drums, 5150 delivers a sound that’s equal parts youthful fire and old-school grit, drawing inspiration from legends like Rancid, Black Flag, and the Sex Pistols. With a relentless drive to keep punk raw and real, 5150 brings unapologetic attitude and infectious energy to every performance.&nbsp; Their live shows are a chaotic celebration of punk’s roots, blending breakneck tempos with catchy, fist pumping anthems that demand crowd participation.<iframe-embed src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/artist/4XmgDIUz7MmEF7V9N4M0Qs?utm_source=generator" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" height="352" width="100%" style="border-radius:12px" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="youtube"></iframe-embed><iframe-embed frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" style="" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="youtube"></iframe-embed> <iframe-embed frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" style="" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="youtube"></iframe-embed>

At the early age of 4, she began playing violin and quickly became fascinated with her family’s expansive record collection. Growing up homeschooled with a mother whose life had been embedded in the gospel church, Wilson found herself immersed in the genre and became enamored with R&amp;B and gospel artists like Otis Redding, Billy Preston, Aretha Franklin and Nina Simone. It wasn’t until her teenage years that she was introduced to genres like country rap and pop. “None of it really hit after so many years of what I was listening to, so I just implanted gospel into my brain.”As Sir Woman, Wilson took the Austin music scene by storm in 2022 with the release of her full-length self-titled debut. It led to her taking the stage at renowned clubs, earning Artist Of The Year at the 2023 Austin Music Awards, as well as features in Rolling Stone, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://Spin.com">Spin.com</a>, Variety and the Cover of Austin Chronicle and many other publications. The buzz surrounding Wilson’s project has helped earn Sir Woman upwards of 30 million streams on Spotify. Now, Wilson is funneling her long passion for soul, funk and R&amp;B into a double album — If It All Works Out and If It Doesn’t. But making one — let alone two albums —isn’t something she ever intended to do. Throughout the making of both her records, Wilson experienced a great deal of loss. While recording If It All Works Out, her sister died. In between the making of her debut and the second LP, her father passed away. They were both chapters in her life that needed to be shared separately. “It basically came out to be an album for a good day and an album for a bad one, because you need music for both experiences.”<iframe-embed src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/artist/3H03S3ZtyYLdzsk6EYndUL?utm_source=generator" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" height="352" width="100%" style="border-radius:12px" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="youtube"></iframe-embed>

His early-'80s success brought the popularity of toasting -- the reggae equivalent of rapping -- to a whole new level, and helped establish dancehall as the wave of the future. For better or for worse, he also epitomized dancehall's penchant for "slack" lyrics -- that is, casual violence, sexism, homophobia, and general rudeness. Graphic sexuality was his particular forte, reaching levels of explicitness previously unheard in Jamaica. It brought him numerous detractors, but it was also a big reason for his early popularity. There was more to itthan that, though; Yellowman was one of the most verbally nimble toasters of his time, with a loose, easy flow, a talent for improvisation, and a definite wit in his wordplay. Plus, all the boasting about his prowess on the mic or in the bedroom had to be over the top to be convincing: true to his stage name, Yellowman is an albino, which carries a tremendous social stigma in Jamaica. His rise to stardom was unlikely enough, but his transformation from untouchable outcast into sex symbol was staggering -- and may not even have taken place without his trademark lewdness. Shocking though it could be, it affirmed him as a sexual being just like his listeners, and was delivered with enough humor to let the audience know that he didn't take himself too seriously. Bouts with cancer pushed him into more thoughtful, socially conscious territory in the 1990s, but his initial style remains the most influential, paving the way for countless dancehall toasters to follow. He remained quiet through most of the 2000s before mounting a comeback with 2019's No More War.<iframe-embed src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/artist/6yTNMMqumesCWhMJ47HB2a?utm_source=generator" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" height="352" width="100%" style="border-radius:12px" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="youtube"></iframe-embed><hr><h2 style="text-align: center">Link&amp;Chain</h2>Link &amp; Chain is a band of brothers that have been harmonizing together and co-writing their songs for decades since their early days in Jamaica.

Even tireless founder and lead songwriter Z. Lupetin would agree you have to come to a show to find out. Going strong into their second decade after starting from a humble Craigslist ad posted in bohemian Venice Beach, some would say Dustbowl’s ever-evolving collective (there have been nearly thirty members!) plays a spicy cocktail of folky-funk or booty-shaking jangly rock n’ soul: expertly mixing their New Orleans-tinted brass section with their signature Laurel Canyon harmonies and fearless lyrics.&nbsp;While most bands stay in one lane or fade away quickly, Dustbowl Revival is a testament to building a fanbase and their own sound the old-fashioned way, with hard work and moving songs that stick to your bones when you leave the concert. There’s a reason they continue to get written up in Rolling Stone and Billboard and get played on AAA radio 16 years after they set sail.<iframe-embed src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/artist/3cB0nIIeIGSuMlw6rnu1dm?utm_source=generator" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" height="352" width="100%" style="border-radius:12px" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="youtube"></iframe-embed><hr><h2 style="text-align: center">Heavy Diamond Ring</h2> Nineteen years after founding indie-folk giants Paper Bird, vocalist Sarah Anderson and songwriter/guitarist Paul DeHaven embark on their latest collaboration: Heavy Diamond Ring.

Led by Anderson’s smooth-as-honey vocals and DeHaven’s rugged guitar chops, the band has been described as “open-road, long drive music,” possessing “a little bit of twang, and a whole lot of beef,” and their live show as “infectious and contagious.”&nbsp; The band is rounded out by veteran knockouts Blake Stepan (bass), Mike Lang (keys), and Orion Tate Ignezi (drums).

Founded by Dolan, Jalbert, and Carter, who began playing together as middle schoolers on Long Island, the band landed on its present incarnation in 2012, when college pal Teel joined full time.Since then, the quartet has gone on to tour with the likes of Umphrey’s McGee, Widespread Panic, and Lettuce, landed festival slots everywhere from Bonnaroo to Electric Forest, racked up millions of streams across platforms, and garnered extensive critical praise with a series of widely lauded studio and live albums. The Washington Post hailed the band’s music as “a hard-charging, often melodic fusion that—thanks to a penchant for improv—offers limitless possibilities,” while Keyboard Magazine declared that their sound “doesn’t adhere to a single genre but, instead, creates its own,” and Relix dubbed them “an incredibly impressive ensemble of talent.”<iframe-embed src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/artist/6qauwCj8W2mTcDGbyDGo6O?utm_source=generator" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" height="352" width="100%" style="border-radius:12px" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="youtube"></iframe-embed><hr><h2 style="text-align: center">Michael Wilbur (of Moon Hooch)</h2><iframe-embed src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/artist/4xa7ht9m5Uj0YhGWIm0K9n?utm_source=generator" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" height="352" width="100%" style="border-radius:12px" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="youtube"></iframe-embed>

Tim Carman (GA-20) on drums, Jimmy James (True Loves, formerly Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio) on guitar, and Adam Scone (Scone Cash Players, The Sugarman 3) on organ. Parlor Greens started off as an idea before it even had a name. Carman had been chatting with Colemine label boss Terry Cole about their shared love for organ combo records of yesterday on labels like Blue Note and Prestige. Cole said he’d love to have an organ trio be the first project at the label’s new studio, Portage Lounge, located in Loveland, Ohio. So when Carman tapped James and Scone for the session, the stage was set.

Love and Eric Krasno (Lettuce, Tedeschi Trucks Band Soulive), is a Motown-flavored paean to dating someone out of your league. The playful “They Call Me Hollywood (But I’m from LA),” co-written with frequent partner Kenny Carkeet, features rapper ProbCause, while the title track is a sing-song, hip-hop-influenced rhyme about embracing change and taking it day-to-day.Frasco wrote most of Growing Pains in Nashville with his longtime guitarist Shawn Eckels and frequent songwriting partners Chris Gelbuda, Steve Poltz, and Andrew Cooney.“I came into this life wanting to write songs,” said Frasco. “It took 15 years, but I feel I’m starting to get credit for it. My cup is full. I’m really starting to see my dreams come true.”<iframe-embed src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/artist/4scyTeRfyqCWVATfPP7SGu?utm_source=generator" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" height="352" width="100%" style="border-radius:12px" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="youtube"></iframe-embed> <hr><h2 style="text-align: center">The Cultet</h2><iframe-embed src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/artist/6eKbuFu5hpmEQgScGrciW3?utm_source=generator" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" height="352" width="100%" style="border-radius:12px" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="youtube"></iframe-embed><hr><h2 style="text-align: center">Barbara</h2><iframe-embed src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/artist/6hhmxPotJ2kCsQjUGPtH14?utm_source=generator" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" height="352" width="100%" style="border-radius:12px" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="youtube"></iframe-embed>

Joe’s still here. Still going. Still cashing checks and snapping necks. The dues of hard work; the delirious heights of the industry as well as the disappointments and low hanging fruit. Through this all, Joe’s only honed his mastery over gut bucket blues guitar and his true voice. It’s a vital and distinctly American voice that never anticipated the attention he wound up receiving, never went looking for it either. It just started happening. The garage, the blues, the propulsive and synergistic live performances that inhabit the spaces of James Brown, Lightnin’ Hopkins, and the MC5…those things happened naturally from the very beginning and could only be accurately communicated in the live experience, not a press release or a slick brand campaign. Sharon Jones, Charles Bradley, Cedric Burnside and Lightnin Malcolm, The Dirtbombs, Detroit Cobras, the Strange Boys; these are some of the artists that Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears shared countless bills with; almost a roll call of the most influential soul and garage bands of the last twenty five years.If you like whistling in your music and some floppy hat, quaky kneed dudes cloyingly singing at you, then you might not “get it” but whatever…there are enough intrepid, degenerate weirdos that do. Those are the folks Joe cares about. Not the glad handing set. Not the fair-weather friend set getting down with the flavor of the month. Like the title of his last album says, “the difference between me and you” is Joe defining for himself that there’s the belabored wannabes and then there’s dudes that actually “HAVE the blues”...whatever the hell THAT is! Joe’s concrete pouring boss is going to miss him.<iframe-embed src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/artist/6kbzJ40luXJ5IKnSpWr7SD?utm_source=generator" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" height="352" width="100%" style="border-radius:12px" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="youtube"></iframe-embed><hr><h2 style="text-align: center">Derek Woods Band</h2>DEREK WOODS BAND is an International Award-Winning &amp; Multi-Nominated Rock band.

Levitt’s Summer Concert SeriesThird World with Special Guest Kumar Fyah, Mono Verde Collective, &amp; DJ Imeh Saturday, October 5th, 2024 All Ages | Rain or Shine Doors Open: 6:00 PM | Show Start: 7:00 PMTickets on-sale Friday, April 26th at 10am MT<hr><h2 style="text-align: center">Third World</h2>Celebrating 49 years, the ‘Reggae Ambassadors’, THIRD WORLD is one of the longest-lived reggae bands of all time, and one of Jamaica's most consistently popular crossover acts among international audiences. Mixing in elements of R&amp;B, funk, pop, and rock and, later on, dancehall and rap, Third World’s style has been described as "reggae-fusion". Singer Bunny Rugs described the band's sound: "Strictly a reggae band, no. Definitely a reggae band, yes." Guitarist Cat Coore said of their music: "The hybrid of various types of music is a natural thing because, by growing up in Jamaica, we know the direct roots of reggae and ska. At the same time we live in a country where you get to hear Chuck Berry, Fats Domino and all the R&amp;B artists." Bassist Richard Daley said, "We took roots reggae music and put branches on top of it". The genesis of Third World was originally formed in 1973 by guitarist/cellist Stephen "Cat" Coore, keyboardist Michael “Ibo” Cooper, drummer Carl Barovier and singer Milton “Prilly” Hamilton all of Inner Circle, along with bassist Colin “Oliver” Leslie. Tomorrows Children bass guitarist, Richard Daley soon replaced Colin Leslie and Leslie teamed up with Darren Green to manage and organize the group.After a few months, Barovier was replaced by Cornell Marshall, and the group made its live debut that year at Jamaica's Independence celebration. They played in and around the Kingston club scene and on the hotel scene island wide, making a name for themselves as one of the few fully self-contained bands <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://around.In">around. In</a> 1974, percussionist Irvin “Carrot” Jarrett joined the group and that same year they recorded their debut single, "Railroad Track”. In 1975, Third World was eager to broaden their musical horizons and took a chance by traveling with no tour dates on the books to England. The trip was fortunate and Third World subsequently inked a deal with the internationally minded Island label, who sent the young talented musicians out as the opening act for Bob Marley &amp; the Wailers’ 1975 World Tour. Their self-titled debut album, Third World was released on the Island imprint in1976 and featured a popular cover of the Abyssinians’ the roots classic "Satta Massagana." The follow-up, 1977's “96° in the Shade”, introduced new drummer Willie "Roots" Stewart and new lead singer William Clark, aka Bunny Rugs. The LP was an enormous critical success in the U.K. and Europe, and spawned an all-time classic single in the title track. That set the stage for the group's commercial breakthrough album, 1978's Journey to Addis, which featured a funky, disco-flavored reggae cover of the O’Jays’ "Now That We’ve Found Love." The song hit the Top Ten on the American R&amp;B charts in 1979, as well as the British pop Top Ten, and the LP climbed into the R&amp;B Top 20. The follow-up single, "Cool Meditation," made the British Top 20 and Third World emerged as international stars.The group quickly followed its breakout hit with The Story's Been Told later in 1979, and it charted in the US. In 1980, they issued two albums, Arise In Harmony and the film soundtrack Prisoner in the Street, which marked the end of their tenure with Island. Third World next signed with CBS and debuted with 1981's Rock the World, which gave them another significant crossover hit in "Dancing on the Floor (Hooked on Love)," a British Top Ten. At the 1981 Reggae Sunsplash Festival, Stevie Wonder joined Third World on-stage to perform his tribute to Bob Marley, "Master Blaster (Jammin')"; it went well enough that Wonder wrote and produced two singles on the group's next album, 1982's You've Got the Power. The first single, "Try Jah Love," was a funky dance track that became another significant crossover hit in America, nearly hitting the R&amp;B Top 20. The second single, "You're Playing Us Too Close," wasn't as commercial, but the musical synergy created in the recording studio between Wonder &amp; the band was so dynamic that You've Got the Power became Third World's second album to hit the US R&amp;B Top 20 charts.The band's success continued on through the '80s, as 1983's All The Way Strong and 1985's Sense of Purpose both made the R&amp;B Top 50. The latter album produced several crossover hits in the title track, “One To One," and "One More Time," which sported state-of-the-art, club-friendly dance beats. In 1987 Third World collaborated in the studio with songwriters, Gamble and Huff and CBS released, Hold on to Love, the album went on to be their first of 10 Reggae Grammy nominations. After their departure from CBS, the band joined the Mercury label and their 1989 label debut, Serious Business, restored their commercial standing with AmericanR&amp;B audiences, climbing into the Top 30 on the strength of a third major crossover hit, "Forbidden Love." One of the first commercially successful fusions of reggae and rap, "Forbidden Love" featured a guest appearance by Stetsasonic lead rapper Daddy O, and charted in the R&amp;B Top 20.Third World's second Mercury album was 1992's dancehall-flavored Committed, which produced a Top 30 R&amp;B hit in the title cut. Their next release, 1994's Live It Up, appeared on the band's own label, TWB. In 1997, founding member Michael "Ibo" Cooper and Willie Stewart both departed, and were replaced by keyboardist Leroy "Baarbe" Romans and drummer Tony "Ruption" Williams, respectively and the return of Rupert Bent. This lineup released Generation Coming in 1999, landing guest spots from Shaggy and Bounty Killer. Afterwards, Romans was replaced by Herbie Harris, who made his studio debut on 2003's Ain’t Givin’ Up.The same year Third World celebrated a quarter century of playing music by re-recording their classics for 25thAnniversary. Two years later they returned with Black, Gold, Green which included guests Beres Hammond, Wayne Marshall, and Blue Fox. Their 2011 effort, Patriots, was released under their own label imprint, Third World Music Group featuring collaborations with Toots Hibbert, Marcia Griffiths, the late Gregory Isaacs, Sly Dunbar, Robbie Shakespeare, Dean Fraser, Inner Circle, Mykal Rose, Junior Reid, Capleton, Stephen &amp; Damian Marley, Tarrus Riley and Tessanne Chin. Single releases from Patriots include the "Spirit Lives ft Junior Reid &amp; Inner Circle", "By My Side ft Season 5 The Voice winner, Tessanne Chin” and showcased in Robert Townsend's popular online series "Diary of a Single Mom", “Good Hearted People ft Capleton”, and a remake of the band’s classic, “96 Degrees In the Shade ft Stephen and Damian Marley”.In February 2014, lead singer William “Bunny Rugs” Clarke lost his battle with cancer. Noted and influential members of the music industry recognized Rugs for his contribution to the globalization of Reggae Music. At the time of his death, the group completed a new studio album, “Under The Magic Sun” with Cleopatra Records, which is livicated to Mr Reggae Ambassador, Bunny Rugs.The album features covers of pop/rock classic in the signature Third World 4 part harmony and reggae groove and features the smooth vocals of one of Third World’s new band members, AJ Brown. Third World released a new studio LP, “More Work To Be Done” in August 2019, produced by multi-Grammy winner, Damian “Jr Gong” Marley, the youngest son of the legendary Bob Marley, under the Ghetto Youth International imprint. The 11 track album is released digitally as well as with CD, Cassette and Vinyl. “More Work to Be Done” is Third World’s 22ndstudio album and features, the 2017 winner of “The Voice” Tessanne Chin, Tarrus Riley, Grammy nominated singer, Chronixx, Pressure Busspipe from the Virgin Islands, Busy Signal and Damian “Jr Gong” Marley. “More Work To Be Done” was nominated by the Recording Academy /Grammy’s for Best Reggae Album 2020.

Levitt’s Summer Concert SeriesBlonde Redhead with Allison Lorenzen Friday, October 4th, 2024 All Ages | Rain or Shine Doors Open: 6:00 PM | Show Start: 7:00 PMTickets on-sale Friday, March 29th at 10am MT<hr><h2 style="text-align: center">Blonde Redhead</h2>Moving from Sonic Youth-like art punk to eclectic pop over the course of their decades-long career, Blonde Redhead remained one of indie rock’s most creative acts. The band formed in 1993 after Japanese art students Kazu Makino and Maki Takahashi randomly met Italian twin brothers Simone and Amedeo Pace at an Italian restaurant in New York. (The name was taken from a song by the ’80s no wave band DNA.) With Makino and Amedeo on guitars and vocals, Simone on drums, and Takahashi on bass, the band’s chaotic, artistic rock caught the attention of Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley, who produced and released the band’s debut album, Blonde Redhead, on his Smells Like Records label. Shortly after the album’s release, Takahashi left the band. The remaining members continued as a trio, releasing a second album, La Mia Vita Violenta, on Shelley’s label in 1995.For their 1997 release, Fake Can Be Just as Good, recorded for Touch &amp; Go, the trio was joined by guest bass player Vern Rumsey from Unwound. By 1998, the band eliminated bass and scaled back to guitars, drums, and vocals for In an Expression of the Inexpressible. Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons and the Melodie Citronique EP followed two years later. The band’s first for 4AD, Misery Is a Butterfly, was released in spring 2004. For 2007’s 23, the group opted for a mix of dream pop and delicate electronic textures. Three years later, Blonde Redhead delivered Penny Sparkle, a more stripped-down, even more electronic-leaning set of songs the band recorded in New York and Stockholm with Alan Moulder, Van Rivers, and the Subliminal Kid. In 2014, Blonde Redhead returned with Barragán, featuring production from Drew Brown (Beck, Stephen Malkmus, Radiohead).The band revisited its early days in 2016 with the Numero Group box set Masculin Feminin, which collected Blonde Redhead and La MiaVia Violenta along with demos, singles, and radio performances from that era. That year also saw the release of Freedom of Expression on Barragán Hard, a collection of Barragán remixes including contributions by Deerhoof, Van Rivers, Nosaj Thing, and Connan Mockasin. Blonde Redhead returned with new music in 2017 in the shape of the EP ‘3 O’Clock’, which they released on their own Asa Wa Kuru Records.<iframe-embed src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/artist/5isqImG0rLfAgBJSPMEVXF?utm_source=generator" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" height="352" width="100%" style="border-radius:12px" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="youtube"></iframe-embed><hr><h2 style="text-align: center">Allison Lorenzen</h2>Allison Lorenzen is a musician based in Southern Colorado by way of Denver, whose darkwave dreampop sound explores a minimalist approach to acutely felt noise-pop and aching slowcore.

Why are you the way you are?’Home, everybody I cared about in the world was there...Even when you have the dream, you have that foundation. But then, I just kept going.”Ray Fulcher is a lot of things. National Barrel Racing Horse Association 18 and Under Finalistat 12... Master of Social Sciences and Education... University of Georgia Bulldogs football staff, working with the Quarterbacks on the field... Car Salesman... ATV Parts &amp; Service Manager... Son, friend, (ex)boyfriend, music lover... And he was very good at all of them. But there was this one thing. Music. The kid who always turned the radio up when “Ocean Front Property” came on, in spite of his father’s admonition “I can’t think when it’s that loud,” would see Eric Church at the Georgia Theatre in Athens, Georgia--and a light came on. Alone, no smoke or neon, this artist Fulcher didn’t really know played “Lightning.” “There wasn’t a line in that song that I could relate to personally,” marvels the soft-spoken artist. “It’s about a guy on Death Row. But in that moment, every single word I felt. I thought, ‘However he’s doing that, I want to make people feel like that, too.’ Not that I was pursuing music then, but the power of it just hit me.”Like a lot of young men poised between youth and grown, Fulcher put together a few duos, the occasional band. They played “Tuesday’s Gone,” “River of Love,” “Let Her Cry,” “For What It’s Worth,” “All Along the Watchtower.” They drank some beer, had some laughs, wrote a few songs, talked to the people. Typical local band stuff, though the tugging at Fulcher never let go. Even after moving home, he kept playing out, working jobs while he waited for a space to open up at the high school he attended. His life was set: teach social studies, coach football. It was the perfect small town life with all the sweetness, roots and dreams. What else was there? After all, who dreams of 30+ million artist streams without a major label deal? Over 3 billion streams as a songwriter in a few short years? Four #1 singles co-written with one of your best friends? Or playing on some of country music’s biggest tours? You can’t dream that. Impossible. But you can trust the fire in your gut, or the tugging at that “sensible” part of your brain. Sometimes, you just keep driving. And when you’re Ray Fulcher, who knew exactly one person in Nashville, who saw a musician he’d met once hit Facebook about being in Nashville alone, you let faith take you where dreams can’t imagine. Upon arriving in Nashville, Fulcher got out and played the songwriter rounds.The Commodore Lounge, Belcourt Taps, Whiskey Jam, Revival and the Tin Roof, he hit’em all. It was at the Tin Roof, he spied a kid he’d met the night he’d first come to Nashville to record. They’d bonded over loving Eric Church, a shared sense of humor, being outsiders and on fire with the desire to write songs that reached inside of people. Striking up a conversation, they became friends, then started writing songs they wanted to hear and couldn’t find anywhere else. Nashville being Nashville, everyone passed on both young men’s songs. Frustrated, they talked it out between themselves. Fulcher recalls, “We both had enough meetings, sat with enough people who kept saying, ‘You’re not ready... Keep working...’ They didn’t know, but we didn’t know either.“I remember us talking, thinking, ‘I don’t know how to play this game, what these people want.’But we knew in ourhearts they were great songs, were songs we wanted to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://hear.In">hear. In</a> one way, we were a couple dudes in an apartment, making stuff up, stuff that wasn’t being made. Finally, we decided, ‘If it’s not right, it’s not right. But this is what we’re going to do.’”Eight of those songs ended up on the 2020 CMA Album of the Year What You See Is What You Get. Eight more ended up on This One’s forYou. Four of those songs –“When It Rains It Pours,” “Even Though I’m Leaving,” “Lovin’ onYou” and “Does toMe,” featuring their mutual idol and influence Eric Church –went to #1.Thrilled for his friend, amazed at his ringside seat to watch records shatter, doesn’t change Fulcher’sdream. Laughing, the easy-going Georgian says of the songs cut by others, “I’ve always trusted the process. Luke’s my friend, and I wanted him to win. If it’s about the song, it should have the best platform and end up with the person who’s going to bring the most to it.“And don’t forget: I’m an artist with my own voice, so recording songs I’m passionate about, that say things I want to say, they wouldn’t be the same. The melodies and how we sing are different; understanding that helps.”Teaming with West Tennessee’s Jonathan Singleton for production, the pair dug in fora Memphis-meets-‘90s country sound. Guitars that sting, hooks that land and story twists that prompt smiles, they created retro-contemporary sounds that are old school, new school and no school country.Whether it’s the quick-word dropping, slow chorus in“Way Out” that pits the notion of how far out of town one lives with the idea of escape or the vocal harmony-basted swagger of the country living truths in“Compliment,” Fulcher delivers songs that distill a slower way of life that’s equal parts pride, joy and good clean fun. The euphoria almost rises from the tracks as the words, melodies and darning needle guitars fly by.“Jonathan’s guitar just moves over everything, whether it’s a Tremolo part or this quick-picking all over playing,” the high energy performer enthuses. “There’s that Memphis thing he brings, a little bit edgier, maybe, or dirtier. You know, when we’re in the zone, I think my songs move a little more rhythmically, go a little deeper into the pockets.”Certainly “Girl inIt” leans into the notion of rhythm and punctuation. Whirling through the phases of love and losing, the truth is that no matter what –there’s always a girl in it. “In the verse, you’ve definitely got that very rhythmic, aggressive tempo going on, but the way the hook lands, it changes everything up. You know, you can take a simple idea, but dress it up with how you drop the words, where you put the melody in the hook.”That same hand-clap percussive drive marks “Damn If It Didn’t Hurt,” the truth-telling take on life’s little defeats and how a man growing up faces life, love and disappointment.The turnaround here comes from the reality that the best things in life often come with just enough pain to let you know, but not enough pain that if you could do it all over again, you’d do a single thing different.Those sorts of momentsanchor Fulcher. To him, the more of his own life he can draw into the songs, the more the fans can see themselves in the words. It’s a principle he and his buddy both embrace, one that allows them to create their own kind of country. Just listen to “Bucket List Beers,” a laundry list of the best beers ever consumed; started with Combs, the pair decided the song might better serve Fulcher. Out on the road with Matt Stell, the athletic performer tumbled into the rest of “Bucket” in the Green Room of the Gramercy Ballroom.“The freedom to just do the second verse let me put my whole life in there,” Fulcher says. “I was on the phone with my Dad the day he retired, and I thought about my cousin coming from the Marines... We all have those moments we want to toast and we want to remember; that’s what I hope this song does for anyone listening who’s ever had that moment they wanted to cheers to.”Listening to his Black River debut EP LarkinHill Mixes, the songs are instantly recognizable. Heck, they feel like old favorites from the very first listen. Maybe it’s the influences he grew up on. Maybe it’s the desire to lift people up, let them feel what he’s writing. Or maybe, just maybe, the friendly artist who writes songs of misdirection understands that life is what you make it –and lets his songs take it from there. “We stuck to our guns, and we were right,” he says now. “Nothing works out like you planned it, but this turned out beyond our dreams. I’m thankful we trusted our sense that the songs we wanted to hear, other people would, too.“I’m just so thankful... We were right to stick to our guns, and now I get to take my career to the next level. My dream’s never changed, only some of my circumstances are a little different.”<iframe-embed src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/artist/7abk76xILIuWQIcPooclLp?utm_source=generator" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" height="352" width="100%" style="border-radius:12px" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="youtube"></iframe-embed>

"Rez" is a slang term referring to Native American Reservation communities in North America. Rez Metal is a genre that describes the creative expression&nbsp;of Native American Heavy Metal music originating from Navajo Nation and greater Southwest four corners. Navajo, Pueblo, Apache,&nbsp;Unangax̂&nbsp;and O'odham Indigenous Nations will be represented at the first Rez Metal night in Denver, Colorado. The sounds of Rez Metal are described as fast, distorted, raw &amp; griddy but also capture influences of the Metal genre ranging from Black, Death, Thrash, Metal &amp; Hard Core, Progressive or just "all Indigenous".&nbsp;ALL are welcome, All Ages are encouraged to come!&nbsp;<hr><h2 style="text-align: center">Ocean Harvest</h2>Ocean Harvest Began in 2013, coming out of Gila River/Salt River Indian Communities in Arizona.

Casting off convention and self-censorship the threesome, comprising guitarist/vocalist Ty Maguire, bassist/vocalist William Big Crow, and drummer Carlin Black Rabbit, has arrived at a new, higher, plateau of Musicianship. The close-knit group explores the impact of broken bones, dreams and promises. Icarus has nothing on these sky-gazing rockers, every song resounds with a desire to break free from the constraints and stresses of everyday life and embrace the simple beauty of truth. Fuzzed-out screams and galloping guitar runs adopt a slothful repose that recalls the sludgy majesty of Southern rock stalwarts while injecting a fresh and authentic Indigi-punk aesthetic into the Mix. Currently, Iron Tusk is in the process of polishing off five original songs with producer/engineer Josh Gwillam that are coming together both inside and outside of the studio (slip-on Vans preferred). Leaning into their lasting friendships and fruitful collaborations of the past, Ty, Carlin, and William have cultivated the “expertise and enthusiasm” to generate their “finest composition of music to date!” Civilizations crumble, kingdoms fall, and angry spirits roam the landscape. Iron Tusk has witnessed it all, and their righteous outrage flows forth in an array of fast-turns, jagged detours, and drumbeats emanating from deep within the Earth.<iframe-embed src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/artist/4lOwdJ8XXqE0GvuZIo6yHc?utm_source=generator" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" height="352" width="100%" style="border-radius:12px" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="youtube"></iframe-embed><hr><h2 style="text-align: center">Under Exile</h2>Under Exile is a 5 piece metal band from Shiprock New Mexico.

Although going through numerous lead singers and musicians they have remained to be one of the most recognized and prolific reggae band for over 50 years.The roots of BLACK UHURU were formed in Kingston Jamaica’s Waterhouse district also known as “Firehouse” in the early 60′s. Though considered to be one of Jamaica’s toughest neighborhoods it’s home to several other reggae singers and musicians. It was where Duckie Simpson grew up and learned to sing from boyhood friends Winston “Pipe” Matthews and Lloyd “Bread” McDonald of Wailing Souls and Bob Marley. He recorded four tracks with Wailing Souls before forming his own group.The original Uhuru’s (Swahili for freedom) were Derrick “Duckie” Simpson, Euvin “Don Carlos” Spencer and Rudolph “Garth” Dennis. They only recorded a few singles “Folk Songs” “Time Is On Our Side” and “Slow Coach” before separating. Don went solo and Garth joined Wailing Souls.Duckie reformed the group adding Michael Rose &amp; Errol “Tarzan” Nelson, both from Waterhouse. They recorded their debut album “Love Crises” in 1977 at Prince Jammy’s famous studio in Waterhouse on St. Lucia Road. It was later re-released as “Black Sounds Of Freedom”. Errol later left to join The Jayes. He was soon replaced by American female singer &amp; dancer Sandra “Puma” Jones. They teamed up with drummer Sly Dunbar and bass player Robbie Shakespeare. Together they developed a musical style full of deep bass thumps, loud drum slaps, sharp keyboards, long instrumentals with guitar riffs, whirly back round noises, echos and the signature”woh oh oh’s” creating they’re “classic” sound. Producing hits like “I Love King Sellassie, “‘Shine Eye Gals”, “General Penitentary” and “What is Life”.BLACK UHURU released the albums Red, Chill Out, Sensemila and Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner and began to tour the world bringing them to international audiences. It was during this period they started to gain rapid popularity. They opened live shows for the Rolling Stones and the Police. They began to work with other well accomplished producers and musicians. Keith Richards played guitar for the “Shine Eye Gal” track. Dennis Brown “The Crown Prince of Reggae” produced the tracks “Rent Man” and Wood For My Fire”. The track” Spongi Reggae” appeared on an episode of The Bill Cosby Show and “Party in Session” in the movie 1980′s North Shore. BLACK UHURU made reggae history when they won the first ever Grammy Award for reggae music in 1984 for the album Anthem Shortly after the grammy Michael Rose went solo.Another Waterhouse resident named Delroy “Junior” Reid became the new lead singer. They released two albums Brutal and Positive. The Brutal album was nominated for a grammy. They filmed three music videos for the tracks “Fire City” “Brutal”, and “Great Train Robbery”, that track also played on a popular video game Grand Theft Auto. Sadly in 1990, due to ill health, Sanda “Puma” Jones passed away of cancer. Junior Reid shortly went solo. Then the original three re-united. They released four albums Now, Iron Storm, Mystical Truth and Strong. Each album was nominated for grammy. They made an award winning music video for the track “Tip Of The Iceberg” featuring rap star Ice-T in 1992. Eventually splitting up again. Carlos &amp; Dennis left again &amp; Duckie stayed again. This time there was a lawsuit brought amongst the group over the band’s legal rights in Los Angeles county court. Derrick Simpson won.As the new millennium approached there came a new lead singer yet again from Waterhouse named Andrew “Bee’s” Beckford. They released two albums. Unification was produced by King Jammy &amp; Dynasty was produced by Fitzroy Francis &amp; Duckie. They went on a worldwide tour featuring Sly and Robbie and had the famous producer Scientist as its road engineer. Andrew Bee’s then went solo.In 2007 Duckie &amp; Michael Rose reunited after twenty years. They performed in Jamaica and did one international tour and released the single “Dollars”. In 2011 Duckie reunited with Andrew Bee’s after ten years. He added female backing vocalist Kaye Star and began touring again performing in South America &amp; America.BLACK UHURU recently performed in a Broadway Musical.

The album Red was voted #23 for Rolling Stone’s list of “100 Greatest Albums of the 1980′s. Aside from winning the first reggae grammy they have been nominated 5 more times. They are the only reggae group to have won the Diamond Awards of Excellence in 1994.Despite all of BLACK UHURU’s change of different singers and musicians the one thing that has always remained is Derrick “Duckie” Simpson. Much respect to a legendary figure for Reggae Music. In 2018, Black Uhuru released “As The World Turns” featuring Duckie on lead. In December 2018 “As The World Turns” was nominated for the 61ST Annual Grammy Awards.

Soon after came the third album Guidance produced by Ansel Cridland.Known the world over as Jamaica’s legendary harmony trio, The Meditations captured the hearts of reggae fans around the world. This led to collaborations with Lee Scratch Perry. Scratch, who produced for Bob Marley and the Wailers, asked them to do back up vocals for Punky Reggae Party, featuring Bob on led vocals. Bob Marley was so pleased with their harmony that he went in search for the group to do more backup vocals for him. It is said by many that “The Meditation is Bob Marley’s favorite group,” which led to Bob requesting harmony and background vocals on songs like Rastaman Live Up and Blackman Redemption. The Meditation’s harmonic vocals can be heard on some of your favorite track such as, Bongo Man Youths Them A Cry by Jimmy Cliffs, Mr. Cop by Gregory Isaacs, to name a few.In 1983 Linval Thompson produced The Meditation’s fourth album No More Friends. On this album all the lead vocals were sung by Ansel Cridland. Meanwhile Danny Clarke and Winston Watson later released For The Good Of Man. After some time separated Ansel began to put the group back together with the release of Return Of The Meditations produced by Ansel in 1993 on Heartbeat record label.Ansel followed up producing and releasing Ghetto Knowledge on the Easy Star label in 1999, then Stand In Love on his own label Meditations Music in 2004.

Not long after, in 2018, the musicians changed their stage name to The War and Treaty; with that new handle came a new record, Healing Tide, which garnered rave reviews. Following was 2020’s Hearts Town, and last year, the Trotters released their fourth album as a pair and their first on a major label (Mercury Nashville), Lover’s Game—a sonic feat of wholehearted, soulful rock ‘n’ roll evidencing that “the colossally talented pair continue their commando, no-limits journey to the top of the music world,” as noted by theAssociated Press. Thematically, the album takes listeners on a voyage of love winding across different situations and seasons.Described by The Tennesseans “unlike any other act in music,” The War and Treaty has collaborated with country stars like Zach Bryan, Wilder Woods, and Brothers Osborne and has opened for living legends like Al Green and Van Morrison and celebrated artists Brandi Carlile, Chris Stapleton, John Legend, Jason Isbell, and Lauren Daigle. With their immense talents, the Trotters have electrified their industry peers and captivated audiences across the globe.Embodying both the unsung history of the American roots genre and an unwavering devotion to fostering healing, bridging divides, and spreading love through music, The War and Treaty are legends in the making, and the Levitt Foundation is proud to present the duo as a highlight of the 2024 concert season!<iframe-embed src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/artist/6HhV0jtMMK5HYnYgG0xgtz?utm_source=generator" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" height="352" width="100%" style="border-radius:12px" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="youtube"></iframe-embed><hr><h2 style="text-align: center">Sauce Pocket ft.

<hr>Levitt’s Free Summer Concert SeriesPresented by Seneca Capital Partnerswith support from UMB &amp; Davis GrahamG.

VIP holders are admitted at all times.<hr><h2 style="text-align: center">G. Love &amp; Special Sauce</h2>"I've been in the game a long time, but I've always considered myself a student," says G. Love. "Finishing this album with Keb Mo' felt like graduation." Recorded in Nashville with a slew of special guests including Robert Randolph, Marcus King, and Roosevelt Collier, 'The Juice' is indeed diploma-worthy. Co-produced and co-written with GRAMMY-winning icon Keb Mo,' it's an electrifying collection, one that tips its cap to more than a century of blues greats even as it offers its own distinctly modern pop spin on the genre, mixing programmed beats and hip-hop grooves with blistering guitar and sacred steel. G. Love's lyrics are both personal and political here, artfully balancing his appreciation for the simple joys in life with his obligation to speak out for justice and equality, and his performances are suitably riotous and rousing to match, with infectious call-and-response hooks and funky sing-along choruses at every turn. Easy as it is to succumb to cynicism these days, the songs on 'The Juice' refuse, insisting instead on hope and determination in the face of doubt and despair. "I've always tried to make music that's a force for positivity," G. Love explains. "It was important to me that this album be something that could empower the folks who are out there fighting the good fight every day. I wanted to make a rallying cry for empathy and unity." Born Garrett Dutton in Philadelphia, PA, G. Love grew up equally enthralled with folk, blues, and rap, devouring everything from Lead Belly and Run D.M.C. to John Hammond and the Beastie Boys. After migrating to Boston, he and his band, Special Sauce, broke out in 1994 with their Gold-selling self-titled debut, which earned widespread critical acclaim for its bold vision and adventurous production. Over the next twenty-five years, G. Love would go on to release seven more similarly lauded studio studios albums with Special Sauce (plus four solo albums on his own), solidifying his place in music history as a genre-bending pioneer with a sound The New York Times described as "a new and urgent hybrid" and NPR called a "musical melting pot." G. Love's magnetic stage presence, meanwhile, made him a fixture on festival lineups from Bonnaroo to Lollapalooza, and his relentless appetite for tour and collaboration landed him on the road and in the studio with artists as diverse as Lucinda Williams, Dave Matthews, The Avett Brothers, Jack Johnson, and DJ Logic. While G. Love has covered considerable sonic ground during his prolific career, he's always found himself drawn back to the blues, and to one bluesman in particular."Keb Mo' and I got signed to the same label at the same time back when I first started out, and we toured together early on in my career," G. Love remembers. "He used to introduce me onstage as 'a true American original,' and I could tell that he got a kick out of what I did. We didn't see each other for a while after that, but a few years ago we reconnected and did a co-headline tour, which was really special for me." Two decades after they'd first hit the road together, the unlikely duo picked up right where they left off, and after a couple late-night jam sessions, G. Love pitched Keb Mo' on producing his next album. The pair decided to test the waters with a writing session first, teaming up with GRAMMY-winner Gary Nicholson (famed for his work with B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Willie Nelson, and Ringo Starr among others) for a week in Nashville, where they penned a handful of tunes based on phrases G. Love had saved in his phone or rough demos he'd recorded at home on Cape Cod. Those tracks quickly became fan favorites on the road, and G. Love knew he was on to something special. "I got wrapped up in touring and in my Jamtown project with Donovan Frankenreiter and Cicso Adler after that first session, and even though I really enjoyed working with Keb Mo' and Gary, it was a year-and-a-half before I was able to get back down to Nashville to finish writing the album with them." When it came time to record, Keb Mo' was meticulous, working closely with G. Love in the studio on nearly every aspect of his performances. While G. Love was used to creating raw, loose albums by the seat of his pants, Keb Mo' worked in a much more deliberate, methodical fashion, building songs up like a hip-hop producer. He'd create a beat on his keyboard, lay down a bass line, and then coach G. Love through the tracks sometimes line-by-line."He was always impressing on me where to place the emphasis and how to phrase my lyrics and guitar playing in relation to the beat," G. Love explains. "He'd tell me to sing like I had a shovel in my hands and I was digging on the one." The resulting mix of G. Love's idiosyncratic style and Keb Mo's old-school influence proves intoxicating on 'The Juice,' which opens with the shuffling, anthemic title track. "We got the juice / We got the love / We got the dreams / We had enough," G. Love sings, setting the stage for an album all about recognizing your power to impact the world around you in ways both big and small. The infectious "Birmingham," for instance, is an ode to perseverance when , while the funky "Go Crazy" cuts loose in the face of our maddening 24-hour news cycle, and the relentless "Shake Your Hair" rattles off a head-spinning list of modern ills before declaring "donate, don't wait, spread love don't hate.""I've never been the kind of guy who thinks he's going to change the world with his guitar," reflects G. Love. "But maybe I can write the kind of songs that give strength and encouragement to the people who are out there doing the work to make this planet a better place. Those are the people I want to lift up with my music." When G. Love sings about making the world a better place, he's not just singing about politics, though, and 'The Juice' serves as a beautiful exploration of the ways we can brighten our own little worlds and the worlds of those we care about on a daily basis. The gritty "SoulBQue" is a celebration of community and friendship, while the rootsy "She's The Rock" pays tribute to all the little ways lovers can lift each other up, and the breezy "Diggin' Roots" spins cultivating a garden into a metaphor for the importance of tending to your home and family and neighbors."I was going through a tough time in my life when I met my fiancé, but my whole world seemed to turn around after that," says G. Love. "I started meditating, we had a son, and we moved out to the Cape. That's when I stopped writing breakup songs and started writing love songs and family songs and friendship songs." Life is good for G. Love these days, and he's not taking a moment of it for granted. In fact, in just the past few years alone he's launched his own beer collaboration with Oregon's Good Life Brewery (The Juice IPA), started his own festival in Massachusetts (The Cape Cod Roots &amp; Blues Festival), and founded his own record label, Philadelphonic, which he aims to use as an outlet for curating both music and visual art (the cover of 'The Juice' features a brand new work G. Love commissioned from renowned painter Greg Haberny)."I'm more inspired right now than I've ever been before," G. Love reflects. "I feel more thoughtful, seasoned, marinated, confident. I'm making the records I've always wanted to make." Cue "Pomp and Circumstance."<iframe-embed src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/artist/74fkl73HDlCXw0l6cemB89?utm_source=generator" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" height="352" width="100%" style="border-radius:12px" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="youtube"></iframe-embed><hr><h2 style="text-align: center">The Sweet Lillies</h2>The Sweet Lillies' music is, first and foremost, heartfelt and collaborative.&nbsp; Those defining traits are given life by the quartet of musicians who make up the Lillies.

Formed at the every end of the 1990s, the group quickly gained recognition for their distinctive blend of melodic punk, post-hardcore, and pop-punk influences. With driving guitar riffs, dynamic keyboards, powerful dual vocals, and thought-provoking lyrics, TSUNAMI BOMB has captivated audiences with their raw emotion and high-energy performances. Their music often explores themes of personal struggles, resilience, and social commentary, resonating with listeners on a deep level and inspiring a devout cult following for their anthemic singalongs and dark melodies.TSUNAMI BOMB’s debut album, “The Ultimate Escape” on Kung Fu Records received critical acclaim, with Rolling Stone later naming it as one of their Top 50 Pop-Punk albums of all time. Despite line-up changes, TSUNAMI BOMB’s resilience has allowed them to release multiple albums through the years, including their most recent LP,&nbsp;“The Spine That Binds” on Jello Biafra’s label, Alternative Tentacles Records. Their ability to infuse emotional depth into their impactful and unforgettable songs has long established their contribution to shaping the punk rock landscape.&nbsp;With a longtime lineup consisting of founding bassist Dominic Davi, whose pulsating driving rhythms anchor the band's music, founding keyboardist/vocalist Oobliette Sparks, whose haunting melodies and powerhouse vocals add depth and texture, founding drummer Gabe Lindeman, whose thunderous beats drive the band's relentless energy, singer Kate Jacobi, whose emotive vocals lead the charge with passion and intensity, and guitarist Andrew Pohl, whose searing riffs and unforgettable dynamic tone elevate the band's sonic landscape.&nbsp;Over the years, TSUNAMI BOMB has evolved and matured while always staying true to their signature sound.&nbsp; Continuing to push boundaries and deliver an experience that is both powerful and unforgettable, solidifying TSUNAMI BOMB’s place as a prominent force within the punk rock scene.<iframe-embed src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/artist/5oNVC8oAZ9Tmhnx5kLihgC?utm_source=generator" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" height="352" width="100%" style="border-radius:12px" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="youtube"></iframe-embed><hr><h2 style="text-align: center">Kultur Shock</h2>Meet&nbsp;Kultur Shock&nbsp;– multinational&nbsp;‘Gypsy Punk’&nbsp;pioneers, led by an irrepressible ball of energy and good cheer,&nbsp;Gino Yevdjevich. Gino&nbsp;was quite the mainstream pop star in his native Bosnia (and the Balkans), when the shelling of Sarajevo began, trapping him in his family’s apartment for two years. He was finally able to flee, first to New York, then on to Seattle.&nbsp;– {For&nbsp;Gino’s harrowing tales of the war, check his upcoming interview on&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jello-biafras-renegade-roundtable/id1647065824">Jello Biafra’s Renegade Roundtable</a>&nbsp;podcast} –Instead of reviving his pop career,&nbsp;Gino&nbsp;chose (a full plunge) to reinvent himself, reaching deeper into his heart and Balkan roots, and&nbsp;Kultur Shock&nbsp;was born! They began playing slightly electrified Traditional Folk, to a growing refugee audience, including many a dancing Serb. The fan base quickly widened to&nbsp;Krist Novaselic&nbsp;and&nbsp;Vic Bondi, among others, who then drew in&nbsp;Jello Biafra. &nbsp;– &nbsp;Then something happened – A year or two later, they debuted in San Francisco to a sold-out audience at the Bottom of the Hill, packed with almost all refugees and migrants – and a much louder, heavier&nbsp;Kultur Shock. Lineups hail from all over Eastern Europe, Seattle, and even Japan; with a much wilder, more theatrical&nbsp;Gino&nbsp;as ringmaster of all he surveys. A more punked-out, direct version of their close friends and cousin,&nbsp;Gogol Bordello, Kultur Shock&nbsp;mixes Balkan folk melodies and bizarre meters with face-melting metal and blood-pumping punk rock in a pagan cauldron of lyrical, obnoxious, and politically irreverent music stew since 1996.The band released its first three studio records produced by FNM’s&nbsp;Bill Gould&nbsp;on his&nbsp;KoolArrow Records&nbsp;– FUCC the INS (2001 and 20th-anniversary re-master in 2022), Kultura- Diktatura (2003), and We Came To Take Your Jobs Away (2006). Since 2007,&nbsp;Kultur Shock&nbsp;is self-producedand self-released on its own label,&nbsp;Kultur Shock Records. It released Live in Europe (2007), Integration (2009), Ministry Of Kultur ( 2011), Tales Of Grandpa Guru, vol. 1 EP (2012), IX (2014), Live At Home ( 2016), and D.R.E.A.M.

A Denver, Colorado, band, Dead Pioneers is rooted in creating and performing a sound heavily influenced by the punk aesthetic, with an edge built around class consciousness and a First Peoples perspective. Unafraid of tackling hard economic, political, and social issues, Dead Pioneers stands in solidarity with Indigenous rights, Black rights, Brown rights, Asian rights, Gay rights, Trans rights, Workers rights, and beyond. From original songs to spoken word with punk riffs, Dead Pioneers was created with a love of music, a love of art, love of a scene that saves lives, as well as the DIY disposition of just figuring it out and seeing what happens.<iframe-embed src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/artist/3t0cq15eUtB2wvb1wJARsv?utm_source=generator" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" height="352" width="100%" style="border-radius:12px" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="youtube"></iframe-embed>

Levitt’s Summer Concert SeriesKurt Vile and The Violators with Corridor Thursday, August 29th, 2024 All Ages | Rain or Shine Doors Open: 6:00 PM | Show Start: 7:00 PMTickets on-sale Friday, March 22nd at 10am MT<hr><h2 style="text-align: center">Kurt Vile and The Violators</h2>Back to Moon Beach (Verve Records) is an EP by no one’s definition but Kurt Vile’s. Clocking in at just shy of an hour, this would be a long full-length record by most any other artist’s yardstick, but for Kurt, the collection is an expression of just how deep his well of non-album material runs. Culled from various sessions over the last four years, and representing a wide swath of the inspirational musical community Kurt surrounds himself with, the core 4 songs of the record (tracks 1, 2, 3 and 6) were born in the fall of 2019 at Panoramic Studios in Stinson Beach, California alongside close musical partners Rob Laakso, Stella Mozgawa, Chris Cohen and with coproduction on tracks 1, 3 and 6 by Cate Le Bon. Later fleshed out with bandmate and producer / engineer Adam Langelotti, additional musical parts were played by “Farmer” Dave Scher and Mikel Patrick Avery.Many other moments (including hella overdubs on the Stinson Beach material) are from intense sessions on planet Philly at Kurt’s studio: OKV Central. It’s been a heavy few years and plenty of excuses to get lost in outer space behind the microphones. Mant Sounds – KV’s go-to recording studio in Los Angeles – was a third and crucial launchpad to ram these sessions home… a familiar spaceship run by Rob Schnapf and often flown by Matt Schuessler as engineer.EP opener “Another Good Year For The Roses” is a richly psychedelic piano-driven earworm with swirling lap steel and catchy blues-pop guitars, and a deeply meditative yet characteristically hooky bend. Written a full year before the pandemic – and recorded in October 2019 just shy of it – “Touched Somethin (Caught a Virus)” was originally intended for Vile’s 2022 full length (watch my moves), but was ultimately left off of that record out of concern that it would be interpreted too literally, given the state of the world that unfolded shortly after its recording.Somberly, the Stinson Beach material in the collection are some of the final unreleased recordings with Kurt’s longtime creative partner Rob Laakso, prior to his passing in early 2023. The EP is rounded out with a few fan favorites — his covers of Wilco’s “Passenger Side” and Bob Dylan’s Christmas song “Must Be Santa,” (featuring vocals by Kurt’s daughters Awilda and Delphine Vile) which Kurt is excited to bring to a wider platform (“just in time for the holidays!”) after its Spotify-only release last year. The final track brings-it-all-back-home with a punched-up, radio-ready version of (watch my moves) standout “Cool Water” – originally recorded with the Violators in January 2020 by Rob Schnapf at Mant sounds and remixed by Rob Schnapf again in May 2023 for this release – and for the radio!<iframe-embed src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/artist/5gspAQIAH8nJUrMYgXjCJ2?utm_source=generator" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" height="352" width="100%" style="border-radius:12px" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="youtube"></iframe-embed><hr><h2 style="text-align: center">Corridor</h2>Following the release of Junior in 2019, Mimi, is a huge step forward for the band, whose members themselves have undergone the type of personal changes that accompany the passage of time. These eight songs reflect a newfound and contemplative maturity, as Corridor is branching out more than ever with music that’s richly detailed, resulting in a record that feels like a fresh break for a band that’s already established themselves as forward thinkers.Mimi immediately recalls the best of the best when it comes to indie rock—Deerhunter’s silvery atmospherics immediately come to mind, as well as the spiky effervescence of classic post-punk—but despite these easy comparisons, Corridor remains impossible to pin down from song to song, which makes Mimi all the more thrilling as a listen.<iframe-embed src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/artist/4nn9uUq4K1vStqxe8t1CD4?utm_source=generator" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" height="352" width="100%" style="border-radius:12px" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="youtube"></iframe-embed>

Melvin is most revered for his powerful, high-spirited, Hammond B-3 organ, and keyboards in the Jerry Garcia Band. Melvin spun his B-3 magic with the Jerry Garcia Band for 18 years and in doing so helped pioneer and define what has now become "Jam Band Music". From blues to funk to rock to jazz, Melvin Seals serves up a tasty mix with a little R&amp;B and gospel thrown in to spice things up.Melvin and JGB bring an intuitive, expressive style, soul, spontaneity and remarkable chops to the table. John Kadlecik on lead guitar and vocal duties, John-Paul McLean's savory bass, Jeremy Hoenig on the drums and, of course, a heapin' helpin' of the wizard's magic on Hammond B-3 Organ and keyboards. Their chemistry is the focus from which they create a spontaneous and high art where the sky is the limit musically. They offer an exciting, often psychedelic musical journey that changes nightly and keeps the audience dancing and smiling (and some staring in amazement) for hours.Adding his rock-gospel-soul-rhythm and blues touch with his funky style of playing, no wonder Jerry nicknamed him "Master of the Universe".

I write fiction—questionable fiction at that. This is my third attempt after being told by our manager to do and then redo a bio—I think I am being kind in not pointing out the difference between biography and autobiography.I typed keywords into the computer: Examples Of Band Bios. I certainly gleaned an insight into…self promotion…so this is my final attempt, dont ask again and dont try and edit and improve it to: Appeal to a wider audience. That is not us. I will start—and I wish I could end—by saying, Thirty years, hundreds of songs. Wouldnt it be nice to end right here? But, the internet said I needed to address other ‘fascinating points of interest’. What genre are we? I dont want to be shoehorned anymore, I hope that we have made our own. We helped create The Denver Sound and we continue to experiment and reinvent what we are flattered to be a part of. I am proud that we have taken total control of…everything, and continue to release music and books on our own label SCACUNINCORPORATED. SCAC is releasing the second section of Kinnery Of Lupercalia: Buell Legion. Only SCAC is able to faithfully represent the Buells and their hopes and hates, humors and despairs. I usually dont listen to our albums after we record them, however I might listen to this again. It finally captures the perfect balance between our studio and live sound. Andrew and Dwight have graduated into what I would call, Advanced Placement Recording. Everyone has found their place in SCAC and it shows on this album. George—Emile Cessna’s brother—has joined SCAC on baritone bass and now forms a formidable rhythm section with longtime drummer Andrew—I guess I should mention everyone here. Though she would never say it, Rebecca—my girl— pushes the pedal steel and keyboard into new territory. I now see Dwight cited as a major influence for both banjo and guitar players and he cements those accolades on the Buell Legion. Slim’s voice is honed and better than ever… and Myself, blah blah blah… A person should not have to qualify a statement with, Honestly…but, honestly, SCAC is a family and yet, We Want More Of You, everyone is invited and welcome. I like standing at the merchbooth and seeing someone from our 90’s shows now bringing their children to see what this life is all about. It is interesting to think that people would pay to see us jump about on stage, actually give money to read and listen to what we are doing. I dont know why I have been chosen to speak for everyone here, but I do know that everyone will say, We are grateful and appreciate every time we are allowed to entertain you. We do not take it for granted. It is our job to alleviate your burdens and welcome you to escape into our world. We are thankingyouandthankingyoua… Ever yours, Munly J Munly , early 2024.<iframe-embed src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/artist/4hadRvyBwQwfETFBEUUaru?utm_source=generator" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" height="352" width="100%" style="border-radius:12px" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="youtube"></iframe-embed><hr><h2 style="text-align: center">Bluebook</h2>Bluebook is the haunting apocalyptic lounge project of Julie Davis, Jess Parsons, Hayley Helmericks, Anna Morsett and sometimes Joseph Pope III.

Levitt’s Summer Concert SeriesThe Wailing Souls with The Itals Saturday, August 17th, 2024 All Ages | Rain or Shine Doors Open: 6:00 PM | Show Start: 7:00 PMTickets on-sale Friday, March 29th at 10am MT<hr><h2 style="text-align: center">Wailing Souls</h2>The Wailing Souls, Legendery Roots GroupFebruary 15th, 2009 The Wailing Souls are part of the small surviving group of reggae and roots originators still musically active today. The legendary group dates back to the late 1960s. The Wailing Souls members got their start learning from reggae icon Joe Higgs in Jamaica's Trench Town yards and sung alongside other emerging groups at the time including Bob Marley &amp; The Wailers. By the '70s The Wailing Souls attracted interest from preeminent reggae producer Coxson Dodd and began a fruitful recording career. Four decades later the group has amassed three Grammy nominations, has been critically lauded for albums released by Island, Tuff Gong and CBS Records and gained a widespread international following.The Wailing Souls saw large success in the early '90s featuring songs on soundtracks including the certified gold album for Disney's film Cool Runnings. Their 1992 album All Over The World also achieved a great deal of success for the group, selling over 800,000 copies.The Wailing Souls pushed the musical limits of the reggae genre with that release, blending sounds of funk, r&amp;b, and country into their roots tradition, securing their reputations as pioneers in the genre.Fusing the harmonies of Motown with the roots and dancehall sounds of reggae, The Wailing Souls have ridden the crest of Jamaica's music for more than four decades. Nominated for Grammy awards three times, the group scored hits with classic roots reggae tunes, War and Bredda Gravlicious, Firehouse Rock, and 1992 album and title track, All Over The World. Additionally, the group scored number one hits with Things and Time, Jah Jah, Old Broom, and Shark Attack. The Wailing Souls' recording career has been nothing short of historic. Vocally trained by Bob Marley and the Wailers' teacher, Joe Higgs, they worked with legendary reggae producers including Coxson Dodd of Studio One, Henry 'Junjo' Lawes, Channel One Studios, Delroy Wright, Lloyd 'King' Jammy’s, as well as recording several early tunes at Bob Marley's Tuff Gong Studio. The Wailing Souls attracted global attention when their music was featured in the 1993 Disney film, Cool Runnings. The soundtrack album was an international hit, selling nearly half a million copies worldwide. The Souls had three songs on this soundtrack including the hit, Picky Picky Head. Formed in Trench Town, Kingston, Jamaica, in the late-1960s, The Wailing Souls have experienced numerous transformations. Their discography (over 26 albums to date) includes singles recorded as The Renegades, Pipe &amp; the Pipers, and Atarra. Sly &amp; Robbie and the Roots Radics are only a few of the stellar musicians who have worked with The Wailing Souls. Still one of the most powerful forces in Reggae, The Wailing Souls continue to tour globally and record new songs with the vigor that they had singing in Kingston's Trench Town decades ago. On Feb 12, 2021, The Wailing Souls released their long awaited album Back A Yard on Greensleeves label.<iframe-embed src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/artist/2ffhJMXvdEJFZISX76ccQL?utm_source=generator" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" height="352" width="100%" style="border-radius:12px" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="youtube"></iframe-embed><hr><h2 style="text-align: center">The Itals</h2>The Itals are a Jamaican reggae vocal group formed in 1976 by Alvin "Keith" Porter, Lloyd Ricketts, and Ronnie Davis(formerly a member of The Tennors), all of whom had previously also recorded as solo artists. All three had worked together in the late 1960s in The Westmorelites. The group recorded several albums through the late 1970s and 1980s, with Ronnie Davis going on to a successful solo career in 1997 as Ronnie Davis and Idren.The Itals' debut single, "In A Dis Ya Time", is regarded as the group's finest work, and topped the Jamaican chart. 1987's Rasta Philosophy was nominated for a Grammy Award as Best Reggae Album. The line-up has changed over the years, with former solo artist David Isaacs joining in 1987 when Ricketts was sentenced to a prison term, preventing him from traveling to the United States. Davis left the group in 1994, and was replaced by Porter's daughter Kada.The Itals continued to tour in 2009 in support of the newly released "Let Them Talk". In 2011 original member Lloyd Ricketts was able to obtain a work permit and performed two shows with Keith and Ronnie before his death. Ronnie Davis stepped away from The Itals again in 2012 and reunited with the Rocksteady group The Tennors, but Keith continues to tour with two of his children, Darien Porter and Kada Porter, providing harmonies.In July 2015, Keith released "Mind Over Matter", the remastered compilation of 22 early Itals songs and a solo album of reggae covers of classic R&amp;B songs, called "Let's Get it On". Presently, Keith Porter is working on a new album to be released in Autumn of 2022.<iframe-embed src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/artist/3RDff6Y6BKZv5SN3in3Zpm?utm_source=generator" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" height="352" width="100%" style="border-radius:12px" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="youtube"></iframe-embed>

Since 2013, the 9-piece act has lit up stages around the country with their trademark brand of “sweaty soul music,” an invitation for audiences to dance, celebrate, and connect under a unifying and infectious groove.Bandleader and frontman Johnny Burroughs sings, dances, and screams audiences into a revival-like frenzy. His dynamite backing band includes sizzling horns and powerhouse rhythm section made up of some of Colorado’s most versatile and in-demand musicians. Since their early days pulling inspiration from artists spanning Stevie Wonder to Beyonce, the group has grown into a formidable creative collective focused on finding an original voice. The band’s undeniable chemistry on stage is built from a decade of real-life relationships and creative partnership. In an industry focused on finding the next big singular artist, The Burroughs have forged their own path that centers on music made in community.&nbsp; The band’s latest release is their most ambitious venture yet: an expansive concept album titled Honey Imastar. The intergalactic adventure follows an alien traveler who comes to Earth to study and understand humans. Set against a backdrop of psychedelic funk and retrofuturism, the main character discovers the true nature of the human experience: an illogical cluster of closeness and isolation, joy and despair, and chaos and repetition. Her journey reveals that while life on Earth may never be simple and solvable, we can cultivate hope through connection and shared experiences.&nbsp;“Honey Imastar is a grandiose experiment for us as a band, but in reality it couldn’t be a more personal story,” said lead singer Johnny Burroughs. “Many of the songs had been written during the first few months of my newborn daughter's life. The story, songs, and vision for the album were growing in parallel with my daughter experiencing the first year of her life. But equally as influential as my daughter’s growing up, was my own experience growing older and losing that childish spark that made life feel wondrous.” Inside of this world that was created, other members of the band brought what they were feeling and processing to the writing. “We all found freedom in expressing our own triumphs and doubts through the character of Honey Imastar,” continued Burroughs. “And something that’s at the core of this story and our spirit as a band is our determination to continue to wake up, be present, bring our whole selves and keep moving forward together.” The Burroughs have played prestigious festivals and venues including Salmonfest Alaska, Bohemian Nights New West Fest, Denver's Underground Music Showcase, and the Mishawaka. The band has written, produced, and performed a show of original music with orchestra, premiered with the Greeley Philharmonic Orchestra in 2021. They have opened for acts including The Motet, The Steve Miller Band, Keller Williams, The Dirty Dozen Brass Band, and The Main Squeeze. Previous recorded releases include self-released singles “Zero Sum Game,” “Baby Get Down,” and “I Refuse”; Love and Unity produced by Eric Krasno (2020); “The Slip” and “Forever In Love on Color Red Music (2019); their full-length studio album Got to Feel (2018); the single “You Are My Joy,” and b-side “1968” (2016); and the full-length live album Sweaty Greeley Soul (2015), recorded live at the Moxi Theater.&nbsp; Since the band’s start, The Burroughs have always embraced their hometown of Greeley, Colorado, with a passion for community outreach. Previous partnerships have amplified the work of great organizations like the Weld Food Bank, Greeley Boys and Girls Clubs, and Habitat for Humanity. The band’s latest mission is an ongoing partnership with Greeley-Evans District 6 Schools titled #BandsGiveBack- a campaign for local artists to pledge money and time dedicated towards providing all area students with access to music education. Providing music clinics and joint performances with high school bands around their city and across the country, The Burroughs hope to inspire the next generation of musicians to find a career path in music.<iframe-embed src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/artist/61xHHZBWUMoheAPbd28E3r?utm_source=generator" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" height="352" width="100%" style="border-radius:12px" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="youtube"></iframe-embed>

There’s something about the music of The Po’ Ramblin’ Boys that cuts right through the noise of the world and speaks plainly to the soul. Formed ten years ago in the Smoky Mountains in 2014, The Po’ Ramblin’ Boys are at once exactly what you would expect and not at all what you would expect from a tattooed East Tennessee Bluegrass outfit. But they take pride in being ambassadors of their genre, and the group has brought their music from rural bluegrass festival stages to the rock clubs of Europe, with stunning results.<iframe-embed src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/artist/65XZgRZMfuSawjuSFrnz0o?utm_source=generator" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" height="352" width="100%" style="border-radius:12px" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="youtube"></iframe-embed><hr><h2 style="text-align: center">DRUNKEN HEARTS</h2>RECKLESS WAYS OF LIVING&nbsp;While the 2020 pandemic spelled doom and gloom for many a musician, it signified a new beginning for&nbsp;Colorado based&nbsp;Americana&nbsp;Roots artist&nbsp;Andrew&nbsp;McConathy and his band,&nbsp;Drunken&nbsp;Hearts.The guitar-playing&nbsp;front man, lead singer and primary songwriter&nbsp;initially thought a worldwide calamity meant the beginning of the end to a career he’s pursued since 2010. Then an angel of mercy from his past emerged, giving him a second chance to make things right in his life and his songs. McConathy’s story of give and take,&nbsp;rise&nbsp;and fall, and hope lost and found gets the personal treatment on&nbsp;Reckless&nbsp;Ways of&nbsp;Living,&nbsp;Drunken Heart’s&nbsp;latest album&nbsp;released&nbsp;June&nbsp;10, 2023.&nbsp;“It’s been difficult to make this a career that actually pays the bills,”&nbsp;McConathy&nbsp;concedes. “Even&nbsp;before covid-19, I could have finally given up after dealing with several tragic experiences,” such as the 2014 death of&nbsp;Ted&nbsp;Welles,&nbsp;Drunken&nbsp;Hearts’&nbsp;cofounding member and drummer. Yet, while his band lineup continued to change during the pandemic,&nbsp;McConathy&nbsp;worked as a security guard at a hemp farm in&nbsp;Longmont,&nbsp;Colorado&nbsp;to make ends meet while keeping his dream alive. “The odds have always been overwhelming,” he laughs. “I probably should have rolled over a long time ago.” instead, a renewed sense of faith in his abilities and songs followed. Finding another album within as the pandemic dust cleared,&nbsp;McConathy&nbsp;realized,&nbsp;“there is something cathartic about putting everything that you have into something.”&nbsp;Drunken&nbsp;Hearts’&nbsp;identity&nbsp;changed&nbsp;without&nbsp;Welles, morphing from a countrified trio into a quirky, harder-hitting quintet. They released studio albums in 2016 (Love &amp;&nbsp;Thirst), 2018 (The&nbsp;Prize) and 2019 (Wheels of the&nbsp;City), and shared stages during those years with the likes of&nbsp;Mumford&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;Sons,&nbsp;BillyStrings,&nbsp;Greensky&nbsp;Bluegrass,&nbsp;The&nbsp;Revivalists,&nbsp;Stevie&nbsp;Wonder, and&nbsp;Mavis&nbsp;Staples, among&nbsp;many&nbsp;others.&nbsp;&nbsp;Reckless&nbsp;Ways of&nbsp;Living&nbsp;is certainly a step in the right direction, with stirring songs like “The&nbsp;Bright,” another one he wrote “specifically about people in my life that I’ve lost.” it includes lyrics adapted from a sermon during his&nbsp;grandfather’s 2022 funeral in&nbsp;Shreveport,&nbsp;Louisiana, where&nbsp;McConathy&nbsp;was born. Remembering&nbsp;Milton&nbsp;Chapman&nbsp;as “a legendary physician and true hero,” he honors “one man destined to win” with the lovely track in a choir-like setting. While admitting he “wasn’t extremely close with&nbsp;Grandaddy” and “we didn’t really speak for a couple years at one point,”&nbsp;McConathy&nbsp;still found a way to pay his respects through song. That’s despite knowing his decision 20 years ago to leave college (if only temporarily) further damaged their fractured kinship. His voice dripping with emotion, “The&nbsp;Bright” opens with these lines:&nbsp;&nbsp;When the light is dim / and&nbsp;death’s&nbsp;by my sideTo walk among the angels / and sing with the&nbsp;choirA brush of feathers / the flutter of wingsA touch of golden heaven / no pain, no sin&nbsp;— &nbsp;“The&nbsp;Bright”&nbsp;“Good&nbsp;Graces” is&nbsp;McConathy’s&nbsp;favorite&nbsp;Reckless&nbsp;Ways of&nbsp;Living&nbsp;track,&nbsp;but&nbsp;“The&nbsp;Bright” has hit closest to home for his mother who “cries every time she hears it now,” he divulges. Perhaps it’s fitting that there’s a tighter family connection in 2023. Along with a&nbsp;June&nbsp;album release following his&nbsp;April&nbsp;wedding, the bold, booming voice serving as the comeback king of&nbsp;Drunken&nbsp;Hearts&nbsp;can start singing about a new lease on life. After all,&nbsp;McConathy&nbsp;is finding peace, redemption, and resolution, firmly believing the once-tattered relationship with his grandfather is now blessed by that heroic healer walking among the angels. &nbsp;-Michael&nbsp;Bialas&nbsp;/&nbsp;February 2023<iframe-embed src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/artist/65L4dreDHXasm3Qb6idKiH?utm_source=generator" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" height="352" width="100%" style="border-radius:12px" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="youtube"></iframe-embed>

Levitt’s Summer Concert SeriesSeun Kuti and Egypt 80 with ATOMGA Saturday, July 20th, 2024 All Ages | Rain or Shine Doors Open: 6:00 PM | Show Start: 7:00 PMTickets on-sale Friday, March 22nd at 10am MT<hr><h2 style="text-align: center">Seun Kuti and Egypt 80</h2>Seun Kuti is the youngest son of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti. He has spent most of his life preserving and extending his father's political and musical legacy as the leader of his father's former band Egypt 80. Kuti was born in early 1983. He showed interest in his father's music from the age of five, and at nine began opening Fela's shows, singing a select group of songs with Egypt 80 before his dad took the stage. As a developing saxophonist and percussionist, he entered the formal ranks of the band before he was 12. Fela passed in 1997, and Seun, in fulfillment of his father's wishes, assumed the mantle as head of Egypt 80; he has run it ever since. During his teens, Kuti divided his time between the band and school, participating in African Football. From the time he was 18, he pursued music full-time. His shows were always a mix of his father's tunes and his own. Although the elder Kuti never performed his recorded work on-stage, Seun felt it important that these compositions get a live hearing and added them to his own set.&nbsp;Along the way, Seun began to add his own twist to the music, digging deep into various African traditions to reflect the continent's struggles and cultures. His debut recording, Seun Kuti &amp; Fela's Egypt 80, was initially issued by WM Recordings in 2008, and later picked up for distribution by Mr. Bongo. While many outside Africa criticized it for using the Egypt 80 name, critics embraced its musical drive and improvisational fervor. Mr. Bongo also released his Many Things set later that year, which drew more praise than criticism. Seun toured globally and played for enthusiastically receptive audiences in Detroit, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Paris, London, Tokyo, and especially Lagos. In 2011, He cut From Africa with Fury: Rise for Knitting Factory Records. It was co-produced with Brian Eno and John Reynolds. The set proved to be his breakthrough; it landed on both Billboard and digital International Charts. Seun Kuti &amp; Egypt 80 toured the globe relentlessly, often playing multi-hour shows that were as heavy on group improvisation as they were on composition. The music never deviated from the overtly political. The younger Kuti continued to state that "Fela will always be number one," despite the fact that he was shifting and transforming Afrobeat with his own growing, evolving musical signature. "As the son of Afrobeat icon Fela Kuti, Seun Kuti carries a torch for infectious grooves and political songwriting." - NPR&nbsp;On December 9, 2022, Seun Kuti released a new EP titled African Dreams. The EP, featuring with Roots frontman and MC extraordinaire Black Thought., consists of three remixes of songs from Seun Kuti &amp; Egypt 80’s 2018 Grammy-nominated album Black Times. The ep reached the top20 on the American Independent Radio Charts (NACC), the top3 on the Hip Hop Chart, and the top5 on the World Chart. In 2023 Seun Kuti collaborated on Janelle Monae's album (Grammy nominee for Album Of The Year) with two singles: 'Float' and 'Knows Better'. And he features also on "Liberation 2" - Talib Kweli and MadLib album - on the song "Nat Turner" ft Cassper Nyovest and he released a new version of the single "BadMan Lighter" with Black Thought, featuring Vic Mensa, reaching 1 million monthly listeners on Spotify.<iframe-embed src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/artist/1GQur7dDvAWhKT9u9YwBJZ?utm_source=generator" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" height="352" width="100%" style="border-radius:12px" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="youtube"></iframe-embed><hr><h2 style="text-align: center">ATOMGA</h2>Since their inception in 2011, ATOMGA has continued to be a refreshing staple in the Colorado music circuit.

It all started in 1987 when they formed their first group UNITY Committee just a couple years after Chali move from Chicago to Los Angeles. In 1994 they combined forces with local rap group Rebels Of Rhythm to form Jurassic 5. Although J5 was in full swing making music and doing shows, Chali and Cut also were founding members of the fusion Latin group Ozomatli in 1995. Since then the two have been busy with both groups and still managed to find time to separate and embark in solo careers on the side. Cut Chemist went on to do remixes and features for such acts as DJ Shadow, Less Than Jake and Blackalicious. Chali also explored his rap prowess with such acts as Roots Manuva, Lyrics Born, Slightly Stoopid and Galactic just to name a few. Separately they also landed solo deals with Interscope and Warner Brothers. The two have kept busy with their own separate careers while always finding time to collaborate. It’s a 35 year old friendship that manifests into music and art.For the last three years they’ve been doing a special collaborative performance that tells the story of their lives in music together.

The name Indigenous Peoples is derived from each member’s first nation bloodlines that span the globe (Hopi, Māori, Arbore) as well as their unique delivery. The group was formed in 2001 and at the time, went by the moniker “2 Real”. Sadly in 2010 group member Larry Harris lost his life while rescuing a fellow marine serving in Afghanistan. Larry was awarded a Silver Star, Purple Heart as well as countless other medals. The United States Marine Corps also renamed the final Crucible obstacle course at Camp Pendleton in his honor. Over the years, Indigenous Peoples has taken on many forms. From a classic MC and DJ performance to a full 9 piece band. Members of this 9 piece band later became SunSquabi and Bob Molly. Indigenous Peoples has toured nationally as an opening act for Bone Thugs~n~Harmony as well as headlining their own tours. Indigenous Peoples has had the honor of working with and recording songs with many Hip Hop legends.

Black Opry wants to change that. We invite you to discover, support and enjoy the Black artists that make magic in this space. One of the most valuable aspects of country music is its versatility and diversity in sound. Country, blues, folk, and Americana music often overlap or weave together- these artists explore all of those sounds and intersections.
