Levi first released Feel It All, holding nothing back in his quest to create compelling Americana/Rock music, and quickly followed with the acclaimed single Run Baby Run and the track Thief, all available on his 2021 debut EP Prophecies. Levis retirement from professional hockey, catalyzed by a couple of years wrought with challenges stemming from the pandemic, allowed time for him to turn his sights to his burgeoning music career, adopting a dynamic sophisticated sound while carving his own unique path as an artist. Entering a new chapter of his career in 2022, Levi showcased immense growth both musically and as an artist with the release of the single Lonely For Tonight and offered a real and vulnerable take on love with his single and accompanying acoustic video for Living Proof. Now backed by a full band, Levi is holding nothing back in 2023, pushing the boundaries of his artistry, recently releasing the latest single Crossfire before heading on the road across Ontario this spring.Sleepy Jean @sleepyjeansingsSpending the better part of a decade frequenting tourist traps and hole-in-the-walls, Sleepy cut her teeth sliding her self-penned songs in amongst those of her contemporaries.
