04/16 - Friday :: Adam Levy & The Mint Imperials

MySpace

"Adam Levy has a reputation for tailoring imaginative and elegant guitar solos to fit almost any tune, beginning with Tracy Chapman's "Give Me One Reason" and more recently on Norah Jones' three CDs. When not busy backing Jones, the former Bay Area jazz musician has been writing tunes of his own, mostly in a bluesy folk vein, and he sings 11 of them on Washing Day. Lingering fragrances, coin laundries and pay phones inform his highly poetic, deeply emotional and at times disturbing songs about a lost lover. He avoids the wind because it reminds him of her touch, threatening to stir up a storm inside him. Finally, in a cow-punk ode titled "I Shot Her Down," he commits murder. Pain oozes from Levy's craggy tenor tones, which he answers with blistering shards of guitar sound."—San Francisco Chronicle

The band performs as a two to five piece band at all types of venues ranging from large concert halls, to clubs, cafes, restaurants, cultural events, wedding ceremonies, corporate events, and special benefits for those in need.
