Levi Kreis talks about the roots of rock & roll on the Feast of Fools podcastRaise the roof y’all! Levi Kreis is in the house and there’s a whole lotta shaking going on.

Forgive my corny pun, but the dazzling singer and piano rocker is in Chicago at the Goodman theater co-starring in the new musical “Million Dollar Quartet” about the legendary Sun records jam session that took place on December 4, 1956, when four of popular music’s most extraordinary talents (Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley) all in their creative prime, came together for a night of music that would help lay the foundation for rock and roll.

Levi Kreis delivers a dazzing performance in "Million Dollar Quartet"Levi Kreis embodies the rebellious musician Jerry Lee Lewis in the show, wowing audiences both with his on and off piano acrobatics both and the power of his raw, passionate voice.

In many ways Levi carries the essence of the musical legend both in his rejection of his Baptist conservative upbringing but still embracing it’s musical roots. Levi Kreis was expelled from his Baptist University for questioning the Bible’s take on homosexuality and Jerry Lee Lewis also challenged the moral code of his day.

When we last talked to Levi, he was on tour across the country with his new album “The Gospel According to Levi” and shared with us a frank look at his life and his relationships.

You’re in for a treat today! Levi super-soaks us with his music and his voice, performing live in the home studio his hits and songs from his upcoming album “Where I Belong” scheduled to be released in January 2009.

Levi is one of those rare musicians who’s sassy personality equally matches his mastery of the piano and the power of his music is delivered by his showmanship.

Having people like Levi on the show is what keeps me personally going. He’s such a dazzling musician, charming personality and a whole lot of fun. We wish the show didn’t have to end, and neither will you.

Levi is also giving away a free song from his upcoming album to all the subscribers of the Feast Blast- click here to subscribe.

Levi shares with us every delicious morsel of music that he has in his body, as he spends over an hour chatting with us about his unusual career and how he reconciles his religious upbringing.

Goodness gracious it’s Feast of Fools!
