For fans of King Crimson, especially the 1980s iteration of the band that featured the legendary Robert Fripp, drummer Bill Bruford, singer/guitarist Adrian Belew and bassist Tony Levin, January 28-29 should be marked on your calendar. The Levin Brothers, featuring Tony Levin, will be performing four shows over two nights at The Baked Potato here in Los Angeles. Along with his brother Pete and drummer Jeff Siegel, better known as “Siege.”

Tony Levin will be playing his upright bass, Pete will be on keyboards and of course Jeff on all percussion. This will be a different side of the Eastman School of Music alumnus,

Beside King Crimson, Tony Levin has worked with some of the biggest names in rock and jazz; Peter Gabriel, Lou Reed, Pink Floyd, Alice Cooper, Dire Straits, John Lennon, Carly Simon, Judy Collins, Buddsy Rich, Steps Ahead, Herbie Mann and more. Tony is still with Crimson and Gabriel, as well as Stick Men and ProjeKCt.
