Tony Levin recently wrapped up a tour with The Stick Men, and now he’s heading back out on the road with his brother Pete with their band The Levin Brothers. The bassist and pianist will be joined by Aly Ryerson on flute and Jeff Siegel on drums.

Today is Tony Levin’s birthday, and we’ve spent the day listening to the wealth of music he’s been a part of over the years. Here he is rocking it out with Liquid Tension Experiment on “Hypersonic”. The tune is from “LTE3”, which was released in April 2021.

The Stick Men have just released a limited edition EP, marking the trio’s first new music in six years. “Tentacles” is a five-song collection that runs 30 minutes, but that’s plenty of time for the band to dig in.

King Crimson has had a long and storied past in its 50 years with multiple lineups and multiple sounds. Now the highly influential progressive rock band is the focus of a new documentary called “In the Court of the Crimson King”.

Tony Levin is another bassist who routinely makes the annual Reader Favorite Bassists list, and he does so once again. In 2021, Tony hit the road with The Levin Brothers, was part of the return of Liquid Tension Experiment, announced his Three of a Perfect Pair camp, released a book, and more.

Beledo is primarily a guitarist and keyboardist, but his latest album is certainly going to catch the attention of bassists. “Seriously Deep” is named after an Eberhard Weber composition, and Tony Levin is on the record.

Most of us know Tony Levin for his unreal bass playing, but during his many years on the road, he also honed his skills as a photographer. Now he’s announced a line of photo prints from his adventures in King Crimson.

Tony Levin shared this video on Facebook saying, “Here’s something different: a version of ‘Elephant Talk’ quite unlike the others.” Here’s The Levin Brothers performing their own take on the King Crimson classic live.

The Three of A Perfect Pair Music Camp is back for 2021! The four-night retreat will run from August 9th through 15th. It will once again feature Adrian Belew, Tony Levin, and Pat Mastelotto teaching and hanging out with all attendees.

In what seems to be a prog lover’s dream tour, King Crimson has unveiled the “Music Is Our Friend” tour. The outing will see the band accompanied by the California Guitar Trio for the first half of the tour and The Zappa Band for the second half.

Tony Levin and the Levin Brothers are finally getting the chance to hit the road, after 14 months. The band is kicking off their “Vaccinating Rhythm Tour 2021”, followed by a busy schedule for Levin with his other projects.

King Crimson made an appearance on Conan O’Brien’s show in 1995, in support of their album “Thrak”. Here’s a great sounding clip from that show, with Tony Levin and the band performing “Dinosaur”.
