Levi Lamberjack
Luxembourgish/ American folk musician Levi Lamberjack has always been on a journey to bring new life to old sounds, drawing inspirations from the Appalachian folk, blues, jazz, and country music bred in the land he grew up in. His eclectic repertoire brings a unique timbre to his sound, yet the listener still feels a sense of familiarity and a sacred sort of rootedness. His smooth and confident vocals and old-timey guitar are sure to intrigue, and hopefully touch and inspire. Drawing inspiration from pioneers and revivalists of traditional folk music recording such as Dave Van Ronk, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, and Mississippi John Hurt, and later from the heartfelt new songs of Blaze Foley, Tom Paxton, and Utah Phillips, Levi blends the ailments of ages past with the very real trials of modern society and personal woes. Modern comparisons include C.W. Stoneking, Willie Watson, and Jeffrey Martin. Lamberjack gained his experience from the small DIY music scenes of central Indiana, sparking a deep interest in music, and, when he moved to the northern part of the state, discovering a newfound love for his roots. He now lives in Berlin, Germany and has found a place in the city’s mighty folk scene. Each Third Tuesday of the month, he hosts a Singer Songwriter session at @ratzeputzbar , in the heart of Berlin's famous Neukölln district, drawing international artists from anywhere and everywhere to play in a beautiful and intimate setting.
