A couple of years ago, I clicked play on Levi Parham’s daytrotter session and by the end of the first song I was checking to see when he’d be touring in New England. Parham is from southeast Oklahoma and doesn’t make it this way too much; I finally got to see him at the beginning of June at Atwood’s and he wrung himself out for a small, but very appreciative crowd. Just before Levi went on, I heard a guy say to the bartender, “I’m gonna shoot off in five minutes, so let me settle up.” I looked over an hour later, and he was still there, eyes glued to the stage. Levi is a captivating performer, with a searing voice and deep appreciation for blues music as the backbone of rock, country, and Americana. He slides easily between genres, and his new album These American Blues is one you should have in heavy rotation this summer.
