Levi Lamberjack
Levi Lamberjack’s eclectic tastes and quest for musical knowledge has concocted a serum full of Appalachian folk culture, Mississippi blues, and life experiences to form a relative and touching experience that also has the power to take you back in time. His smooth and confident vocals and oldtimey guitar are sure to intrigue, and hopefully touch and inspire the listener. Drawing inspiration from labor union songsters such as Pete Seeger, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, and Woody Guthrie , and from the personal and heartfelt tunes of Blaze Foley,Tom Paxton, and Dave Van Ronk, empowerment and melancholy are prominent themes in his work. Modern comparisons include Nathaniel Rateliff, Ray LaMontagne, Willie Watson, and Charley Crockett. Lamberjack gained his experience from the small DIY music scenes of Central Indiana, USA, making unforgettable memories and, when he moved to the northern part of the state, discovering a newfound love for his roots. He now lives in the Berlin, Germany and has found a place in the city’s mighty folk scene, where his nomadic spirit can come alive as he takes the train to a different open mic or show each night of the week. He is currently the host of The Ratzeputz Sessions, where he curates monthly live music sessions, booking Berlin and beyond’s top Singer Songwriters, every third Tuesday at Ratzeputz Bar in Neukölln.
