Artist History Immediately out of high school, David spent ten years on the road playing the club circuit in the upper midwest and northwest as a lead-singing keyboard player, first with Patriot, where he was the featured singer on the infamous bar single, 'The Rodeo Song', and finally with his own group, The David Levin Band. Settling in Minneapolis in 1987, he wrote, produced, switched to guitar, worked some straight jobs, flirted with stardom for a couple of years with the raucous rockabilly band, The Screaming Yahoos, working with producers from Nashville and Australia, and then finally released his first solo CD, 'Heaven' in 1997. Following the successful release of his CD, Heaven, he was a founding member of the acclaimed acoustic group, The Song Circle, and performed regularly with them in the Minneapolis-St.Paul area until moving to New Mexico in August of 1999. David is currently living on the Zuni Indian Reservation with his wife, Margret, and their dogs, Sophie and Lucy. He's working on material for a new CD release, putting together a new band, and preparing to take his music out to a wider audience.
