Join us for an intimate solo performance with harmonica wizard and pianist Howard Levy, featuring songs from his new album “Heavy World”
Howard Levy, two-time Grammy Award Winner is an acknowledged master of the diatonic harmonica, a superb pianist, innovative composer, educator and producer. At the age of 19, he discovered how to play the diatonic harmonica as a fully chromatic instrument by developing techniques on it that had never existed before. This enabled Howard to take the harmonica out of its usual role as a Folk and Blues instrument, and into the worlds of Jazz, Classical, Middle Eastern music, and more. His discovery unlocked infinite possibilities for the harmonica world.
Some of the musicians he has performed with include Dolly Parton, Kenny Loggins, Bobby McFerrin, Donald Fagen (Steely Dan), Victor Wooten, Paul Simon, Paquito D’Rivera, Kurt Elling, Spyro Gyra, Styx, Chuck Mangione, Pete Seeger, Charlie Mariano, Alan Jackson, and Tom Paxton.
