When Ben Levin released his second album "Before Me" in 2019 - first through Vizztone Label - he became a widespread sensation among fans and media, not only because of his youth, he was nineten years old at the time, but because of the fascination he generated as a pianist. Currently, at twenty-four , Levin has released four more albums, a digital EP with jazz singer Stella Heath and as a sideman on the latest album by the legendary Lil' Jimmy Reed "Back To Baton Rouge". His presence on stage has become a privilege for all those who attend his shows, a regular on the American blues circuit, he has performed around the world and his value as a sideman has not stopped growing. His beginnings were in a club in Cincinnati where his father Aron, a guitarist with own career and who supports Ben on his albums, played with his band, there he prepared a small keyboard for him and a young Ben at eleven had half an hour to play it in front of the audience. After a couple of months, the club owner proposed to Aron that Ben play a full set. That was the genesis of the professionalization of a young Ben Levin who in 2017 received an offer to go play in France, which generated the need to record the first album in his career. "Holiday Blues Revue" is an album filled with the holiday spirit that Levin has been working on for the last four years since he composed "Forgot Mrs Claus", where you can find him at his best, playing like never and with the future still to be written. New and oxygenated blood, one of the best of a new generation of blues artists
