Pianist and composer Ben Levin presents a special evening of blues and jazz featuring Art Gore and special guest Candice Ivory. Known for traditional blues piano, Ben also celebrates the crossover blues/jazz sounds of artists such as Eddie Vinson, Jimmy Witherspoon, and Percy Mayfield. Ben is an international touring artist and has performed throughout the U.S., Europe, Brazil, and Japan.
Art Gore was born into a family of musicians, which began his early exposure to music. By age sixteen, he was playing professionally, working with national artists such as Jon Thomas and Amos Milburn. After studying at Berklee College of Music and The New England Conservatory of Music, Art joined Dr. Lonnie Smith, leading to traveling and recording with the Grammy-winning guitarist and vocalist George Benson. Art has performed and recorded with countless celebrated artists including Lonnie Listons Smith, who's jazz-fusion classic "Voodoo Woman" is included in the Recommended Recordings of the Decade for the Smithsonian Collection of Jazz in the Seventies.
Special guest Grammy nominated vocalist Candice Ivory will join the group.
