Bay Area born, Oakland dwelling guitarist, songwriter, and producer Andrew Levin is always on the move.  After graduating from USC’s Studio/Jazz Guitar program with full scholarship, Levin became a first-call session guitarist in the Bay Area, playing with GRAMMY® Award-winning Fantastic Negrito, the San Francisco Symphony, hip hop project Zion I, rapper Lyrics Born, and music director Rickey Minor (American Idol, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Alicia Keys). Levin has opened for notable artists such as Mavis Staples and Lauryn Hill. He also creates music for Ubisoft videogames such as Rocksmith, which led to him becoming a Professor of Sound Design at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. 

 Embracing his signature experimental sound, Andrew Levin is set to release his  EP ‘Alone, In a Room, With Hope’, a 5- track record that ties in every colorful layer of Levin as a musician and artist. The result is an explorative, evocative, and eclectic collection of songs that Levin recorded and mixed himself entirely, playing nearly every instrument. The dynamic EP, which travels through a host of genres, styles and emotions, couldn’t be a more cohesive representation of Andrew Levin, proof that sometimes unconventionality holds the key to creating true art.

Trumpet player, producer and ethnomusicologist.

Bay Area funk powerhouse, Kuckaw!, assembled with one goal in mind: to simultaneously stimulate brain and booty alike. Influenced by artists such as Herbie Hancock, Orgone, Snarky Puppy, and Jamiroquai, Kuckaw!’s sound melds the driving, heavy rhythms of 70′s funk with the hypnotic, interlocking essence of Afrobeat, a touch of disco, and the wild abandon of a Zappa-esk musical odyssey. Hailing from the great city of Oakland, California, this heavy hitting ensemble features members and collaborators of Albino! – Heavy Heavy Afrobeat, Dynamic, Victor Little’s Big Hit [of Booker T], Jazz Mafia, Ernest Ranglin, and Soji & The Afrobeat Band [of Fela Kuti], among many others. Keep an ear out for this burgeoning ensemble, bringing the funk to a location near you!
