This is Tony Levin’s 7th solo album, his first since 2007, is an autobiography of sorts, with the themes drawn from Levin’s musical life. It features a myriad of collaborators from his half-century-plus on the road and in the studio with Peter Gabriel, King Crimson and many, many others.
Over the past half-century, Tony has been a prolific session player and one of the most active live performers on the planet. He’s contributed his talents to over five hundred albums amongst which include 15 with Peter Gabriel, 18 with King Crimson (counting live, studio, and compilations) alongside contributions to the work of John Lennon, Alice Cooper, Lou Reed, James Taylor, Herbie Mann, Paul Simon, Chuck Mangione, Pink Floyd, and many others. On tour, he’s traveled the World many times over with the aforementioned King Crimson, Peter Gabriel, and several of his own bands including Stick Men, Levin Brothers, Tony Levin Group.
This Fall, he’ll stage 65 performances in North America as a member of BEAT, celebrating King Crimson’s ‘80s music (‘Discipline‘, ‘Beat‘, ‘Three of a Perfect Pair‘ albums) with Adrian Belew, Steve Vai, Danny Carey.
