Ron Levy's Wild Kingdom grooveliciously combines, works, plays in, stretches out, distorts, harmonizes and reflects the familiar and exotic, the smooth and toxic, the dynamic ups and the downs, the known and unknown boundaries of Blues and Jazz, Latin and Gospel, Hip-Hop and free style feelings into a unique musical gumbo, exciting young hip club and college audiences as well as the older veteran Blues and Jazz aficionados everywhere across the globe.
Levy, a steady 40+ year veteran of every cool scene to be seen, whether it be with Albert King, B.B. King, Roomful of Blues, Luther 'Guitar Jr' Johnson or Karl Denson and as organist, pianist, composer, arranger, sideman or soloist, producer and A&R man of over 200 recording projects of traditional and contemporary Blues, R&B, Jazz, Gospel, and real deal, hardcore music from New Orleans, Memphis, NYC, West Coast, Texas and beyond, has garnered many awards and nine Grammy nominations. His original compositions and recordings have been used on every television network and over a dozen films.
He has culminated and organized his musical/magical know-how and formed an elite group of top musicians, Ron Levy's Wild Kingdom. He's currently performing on side projects with the up-and-coming Blues guitarist and singer Barrett Anderson [along with Per Hanson], 2013 winners for 'Best Blues Band' at the Boston Music Awards, SPANK! [with Fuzz and Eric Kalb of Deep Banana Blackout] and Philip Pemberton, the current lead singer with Roomful of Blues. Levy and Pemberton were just inducted into the Rhode Island Music Hall of Fame. [Ron is in New Hampshire's HOF too!] Levy is currently teaching Hammond organ and music theory in the Boston area and around the world via Skype as well.
