Adam Levy & Liminal Phase
Monday, April 12, 2010 - 10:00pm
The art of songwriting continues to find home in the music of Adam Levy. Known best for his pop-rock craftsmanship that’s guided The Honeydogs through 10 acclaimed releases, and more recently for the whimsical kid’s rock band Bunny Clogs, Levy is now embarking on a new project, Liminal Phase, that combines old and new sounds with electronic and acoustic instrumentation. These chamber arrangements featuring cello, oboe and harmonium and a DJ reveal subtle complexities in Levy’s songwriting that embrace the tenets of a rich folk music history—harkening back to Nick Drake and channeling Dylan without ever waxing redundant.
In addition to time and love spent on The Honeydogs, Bunny Clogs and Liminal Phase, Adam has also begun recording with another new project “And the Professors” featuring a string quartet, members of the Heiruspecs, Mystery Palace, and Holly Munoz from Aviette. Adam teaches popular music history, songwriting, audio engineering and mentors students at the Institute of Production and Recording and the MacPhail School of Music. For fun Adam heads up the ambitious 9 piece soul cover band, Hookers $ Blow.
