New tune because why not.  Going back to Glyn Johns drums for the first song. And some nice crotch mic'ed drums on all three. More to come!

Las Islitas and Microplastics In Our Music: two new singles out now

Got a couple new ones for folks.  A future EP/album will be Microplastics In Our Music because I think the title sounds cool.  It's probably also true, knowing the state of microplastics these days

Enjoy! -Levi

For Immediate Release - Levi Hustle & The Denim Persuasion to Release New EP This Summer

On July 21st, “Shocking New Information,” the new EP from Levi Hustle & The Denim Persuasion will be released via CDBaby / Good Times Recordings. The brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Tony Maietta (The Black Oil Brothers / Furbaby and the Tight Spaces), Levi Hustle began as an outlet for his “solo song ideas” during spare time, while hanging around his home studio just outside of Chicago. “Levi can be anyone or anything we want it to be. It just happens that on this batch of songs, it’s me singing and playing most of the instruments, and Mighty Joe playing some drums,” said Maietta. An avid enthusiast of guitar, bass, drums, keys, and anything musical, Tony enlisted the help of longtime friend Joe Winters of The Steepwater Band to play some drums on this release. “I was at Tony’s place often, because I filled in for a minute with his band The Black Oil Brothers, which led to us playing in The Fur together, so I just inadvertently ended up playing on some of his studio recordings as well. I really dig the music he is making, and it’s just another cool creative outlet to be a part of,” said Winters. In September of 2022, the pair toured in Spain as a rhythm section for Furbaby and the Tight Spaces, and continued to tighten their musical bond. So much so, that the idea of Levi Hustle live shows has come to light in support of the EP, for possibly later this year. For now, the EP is set for a streaming only release on all major platforms.

21st Century Coffee

 Hot off the presses, a new Levi Hustle tune!  This one came out of jamming with a capo, as one does from time to time.  Enjoy

Joe Winters Drums Again

The start of each year has become a drum recording session with my bandmate and friend Joe Winters from The Steepwater Band and Furbaby & The Tight Spaces.  A new tune for a new year, this one is called When I See You.  I've got a few more tunes in the queue.  Stay tuned

Been a hot minute, but there's some 2022 tunes

Ol' Levi's been playing bass guitar for Furbaby & The Tight Spaces, in some roomy rooms as well as small clubs across Spain.  But there's some tunes in the hopper with even a few days left in the year.  Just need a few more parts I MIGHT be able to get done

New tunes featuring a real drummer!

My buddy and excellent drummer Joe Winters from The Steepwater Band joined me on a few tunes. The first two are posted in the Music section

Some Levi Album/Single Artwork

 Singles, because there isn't really an album to speak of.  Just a big flow.  A big smear.  Much like 2020.  Good times y'all!

New Song on Bandcamp: Freaks (In My Neighborhood)

 We got Joe McCoy of The Denim Persuasion to remotely record a harmonica solo for the latest release: Freaks (In My Neighborhood).  Check out the tune at levihustle.bandcamp.com/releases or click the music tab on the left side

I posted some new tunes

In the last week I've finished a song (Spinning Vinyl Record) and in the last two days came up with Spend The Day and The End Of The World.  As always these are free tunes on Bandcamp.com via this website by clicking the music tab to the left!

Got the logo up

It's aways nice to see a friendly face even if it is poorly sketched
