Levi Parham is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist from McAlester, Oklahoma, United States.[1]

Early Life

Levi grew up in southeast Oklahoma listening to his father's large album collection, especially the Blues.[2][3][4]

Career

Parham began his career in 2013, self-releasing his first-full length album titled An Okie Opera.[5] Currentland Magazine named it one of the top Red Dirt albums of the year, alongside Samantha Crain, Red Dirt Rangers, and Jason Boland.[6] He followed that release in 2014 with a six song EP titled Avalon Drive.[7][8][9][10][11][12]

After touring the U.S. extensively, Parham met producer Jimmy LaFave; who later signed him to Music Road Records in December 2015.[13][14] Parham immediately went into Cedar Creek Studios in Austin, TX with LaFave to work on his next full length album, These American Blues, due out June 24th, 2016.
