Sun 6/28 - The Levins (Silver Spring)

"The Levins sing from their soul and reach the souls of others. They are the minstrels of the spirit for this age of spirituality. Ira and Julia belong to a very small group of artists writing lyrics and music that embodies the inter-spiritual message of our time. They are right up there with the best of the best song writers of this generation." - Dr. Andrew Vidich, Author of Light Upon Light, and Let There Be Light.

FocusMusic presents The Levins at Unitarian Universalist Church of Silver Spring. 10309 New Hampshire Ave., Silver Spring, MD | 4pm

The Levins are a harmony-driven acoustic duo known for their sun-splashed, peace infused songwriting that connects on a universal level. From harmony in voice to harmony for humanity, husband and wife duo, The Levins, seek to uplift and unite with unflinchingly feel-good folk-pop, infectious musicality, sharp songwriting skills, and a unique approach to vocal harmonies that is both soulful and unexpected. The duo’s vocal interlace is perched on a rich bed of guitar and piano instrumentation.

Tracks by The Levins would fit snuggly on playlists alongside songs by The Weepies, Cat Stevens, Simon & Garfunkel, Iron & Wine, Sufjan Stevens, Fleet Foxes, and Patty Griffin.

The Levins have garnered prime accolades and acclaim for boldly uncompromising and heartfelt music. Select highlights include ranking on Folk and Roots DJ charts, nabbing Top 10 positions and landing on multiple DJ yearly Top 10 song and album lists, as well as earning awards from recognized platforms such as Indie Acoustic, Empower Music, CTFolk, S.Florida Festival, and MASC.

"The open hearted songs of The Levins feed my soul. What the world needs now more than ever is the poetry, spirituality, and humanity of their upliftng musicality." - John Platt, WFUV
