Michael "Cat" Levy

Keyboards & Vocals:Sonny Lawton

Michael Levy, Keyboards and vocals:  Michael Levy was first introduced to music by the humming and strumming of good ‘ol cowboy songs  played by his Dad on an old Fender acoustic.  Every weekend, Michael would play 45s at his grandparent’s apartment in Manhattan and spent his childhood listening to Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Roy Orbison, The Drifters, The Beatles and many other artists that recorded during the 50’s & 60’s.  When he was 6, he began tinkering around on a 1928 Waters upright piano, which he still owns today.  Although classically trained, Sonny has explored many different styles and forms of music including classical, folk, rock and jazz but has gravitated toward the blues where it is evident that he shines as a preeminent pianist, organist and vocalist.  He has performed all over New York City and has recorded professionally with Under Capricorn, The Sammy Bones Conspiracy and Raunch.  Michael currently resides in Tampa, Florida with his wife and three children.  Always up for a jam, he continues to promote the importance of music and the role it plays in our daily lives.
