With a refreshing blend of acoustic pop and r&b, The Jonathan Levi Band brings a new spurt of energy to the ever evolving music scene. The combination of Spanish guitar wizard, Jacobo Barreiro, and Hawaiian Singer/Songwriter, Jonathan Levi, is what creates the foundation of this eclectic style of music.
Having San Francisco serve as their meeting grounds, Jonathan and Jacobo began the brewing of musical backgrounds by collaborating immediately in the summer of 2008. Sharing similar Influences in contemporary acoustic artists such as Ben harper, Jason Mraz and Jack Johnson, the duo instantly connected as musical partners and began recording their first EP titled “These Doors” which was released that same year. On this simple five-track album, the two claim their songwriting abilities through catchy melodies and lyrics that empathize and inspire hearts of all generations. Jonathan Levi’s smooth vocals glide across each note effortlessly in ballads such as “These Doors” and “Hide Myself Away”. The Jonathan Levi Band pave their own road to the music world with the Pop Rock influences of The Beatles and clever, catchy arrangements reminiscent of James Taylor and Stevie wonder.

A couple of reviews extracted from SliceThePie, out of almost 300 with an average score of 7.5:
Colors of You
“Very impressive! I absolutely love this track!! I’m getting very excited!!!The instrumentals are spot on – tight and musically performed. The vocal has a bright tone colour that soars over the top of the instrumentals effortlessly. Lovely phrasing, dynamic variations, impressive vocal range. The lyrical content is thoughtful and interesting. A truely beautiful track. I just wish I could write a review that truley reflects what i feel about this track – but my vocabulary fails me!!!!”
These Doors
“A heartfelt song that can make people listen to it. The instruments have this very melodic tune taht can make people pay attention to it. The artist has this voice that will possess people from the moment they hear it. It’s a heart warming song that can win listeners over in an instant.”
Still Standing Here
“Pretty refreshing pop-rock track. Sounds a bit like Jason Mraz or Ben Folds Five, it has a soft, cool feel, with softly clanging tambourines and light guitar ripples, which makes you want to have a picnic even on a dark, cloudy afternoon, and have this track as a background beat. I bet this track would do really well when released commercially, or if a much wider audience gets to listen to this. I’m gonna give this a 9 out of 10.”
Show Me Your Smile
“Fantastic performance. The vocal is awesome and I think the same for music also. The Guitar driven music rocks. The tunes are very pleasent and I hope that people will love the track.”
