THE LEVINS
The Levins are a harmony-driven acoustic duo known for their sun-splashed, peace infused songwriting that connects on a universal level and celebrates our common humanity. These award winners (Indie Acoustic, Empower Music, CTFolk, S.Florida Festival, MASC) were 2017 SERFA and 2016 NERFA Formal Showcase Artists and 2014 Falcon Ridge Emerging Artists. In addition to performing/presenting at the Parliament of World Religions in Toronto, The Levins rounded out 2018 in San Francisco with the multiple show production of My "Friend Hafiz", a theatrical circus directed by Broadway director Mindy Cooper, featuring the live music of their 2013 recording. Unique harmonies and tightly blended unison vocals, along with their guitar and piano interplay, reflect the couples own compatible musical/personal relationship which began after meeting at an open mic at The Freight and Salvage in Berkeley CA. Their My Friend Hafiz CD debuted in the top 20 on Folk DJ & their latest, TRUST, in the top 10. (Top 10 song/2015, J.Platt, WFUV) and "underscores the positive messages of love, peace and self-awareness. Each tune serves as another stepping stone toward a better day & a richer life." Tom Staudter.
Their newest recording, Caravan of Dawn was released on April 26, 2019.
“The Levins speak to our better selves with their crystalline harmonies and uplifting lyrics.” – John Platt, WFUV
“The Levins are originals! Interlocking vocals – counter singing – these two sound like multiple vocals and I can think of no one who writes tunes in this fashion. It’s almost as if they have created a new “classical” music.” - John Apice, No Depression

Nada Surf - Never Not Together
"Endure" Official Video Mimi Goese and Ben Neill
From the release "Life You Are"
Composition by Mimi Goese and Ben Neill
The air awakes smelling of rain and hot concrete
Batten down as much as you can
Against the cardinal direction
No matter the amount of inkling
There's always an inkling
Trees hold your ground
Endure
The stirring of the storm
Brace turn into the wind
Blind Blindsided
Howling churning gathering speed
The wind the head
The wind the tail
The wind the whirlwind
Endure
Rolling falling gurgling bawling
Vast then float flowing the current
Please hold your ground

Here's a blast from the past from Pete:

Tribes Hill Gatherings
Hosts Needed
Although the traditional first Monday gatherings have been suspended the opportunity to host an impromptu gathering of the host's design, any day of the week, is encouraged.
We held monthly gatherings that included a song circle on the first Monday of every month. Sometimes we would change the date to accommodate holidays. They began at 6:30 with dinner prep and music. We served our traditional pasta and salad dinner with potluck additions at 7 pm. After dinner music would continue until about 10:30 with our collaborative song circle that included music makers and music lovers from the Tribes Hill community and newly invited guests. We had respectfully fit into the space offered us with about 20 - 25 people and plenty of acoustic music and song to share.
