Levon is a band that prides itself on creating one identifiable singular voice that separates them from their contemporaries, like they do with their single “Ms. Marianne.” For the inspiration do to that, Michael David Hall, Ryan Holladay, Jake Singleton look to their musical heroes of the 1970s, “We watched that Eagles documentary together and there’s a bunch of scenes where they’re in a dressing room and it sounds like maybe one guitar and they’re all singing, and it gives us the chills you know…hearing harmonies that close with a blend like that where you almost can’t tell whose which part, certain bands adopt this group voice, you know, and we want to have a voice hopefully one day and people will hear harmony and be like oh my gosh that sounds like a Levon song is that a Levon song? You know I think we’ve really looked up to the bands that sing together the way that the Eagles did Crosby Stills Nash, & Young, etc.” Check out the video for “Ms. Marianne” at Levon The Music dot com, or just click HERE
