Questions

Ask The Levins anything...

Q: How did you develop your happy smile folk pop style?

A: Hi Paul - thanks for reaching out! We've been married for 10 years (next week!) and we always try to see the positive in everything...and I guess our music has just followed suit. We are continually intrigued by what connects us, as well as what uplifts us and since we've set out on this musical path...i guess we've been traipsing in that natural direction. We've found that music and humor are two great diplomats that bridge the gap between us. This is not to say that we don't write or enjoy the songs of yearning, pining or poignancy, but those tend to be our palate cleansers during a set versus the other way around. I suppose coffee should be mentioned for full disclosure. ( : We enjoyed your tunes and thanks for asking!
