You can capsulize most pop musicacts by reciting how many hits they’vehad and how many millions of albumsthey’ve sold. But these conventionalmeasurements fall short when you’reassessing the impact of The BeachBoys. Their amazing hits include“Surfin’,” “Fun, Fun, Fun,” “I GetAround,” “Help Me Rhonda,”“California Girls,” “Good Vibrations,”“Kokomo,” and so many other remarkable hits.

The Beach Boys continue to holdBillboard / Nielsen SoundScan’srecord as the top-selling Americanband for albums and singles, and theyare also the American group with themost Billboard Top 40 chart hits (36)with over 100 million records soldworldwide. They were inducted intothe Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in1988.

Back by popular demand, Levonwas the opening act last season forLeAnn Rimes. Their music and style isinspired by the works of The Eagles,Crosby Stills Nash & Young, WillieNelson and Merle Haggard, makingLevon’s sound a combination of “Then”and “Now.”

Levon’s lead singer and guitaristMichael Hall remembers his father listening to country and 70’s rockbands and thinking, “This is the kind ofmusic people want to get back to,music I want to get back to. Honestlyrics and memorable melodies.Hopefully our music speaks to that,”he says.

Levon is currently playing showsacross the country, opening for artistslike Florida Georgia Line, Chase Riceand musical legend Willie Nelson.
