Sand, Stars & Guitars: Levi Kreis

The Palm Springs Cultural Center and The Bluegrass Standard Magazine are pleased to announce a new bluegrass music series – Sand, Stars & Guitars! The series, which will take place at the Historic Camelot Theatre inside the Palm Springs Cultural Center is bringing award-winning bluegrass favorites from all over the country, and in some cases, bringing them to Southern California for the first time.

Popular pianist, singer-songwriter, and Tony Award winning actor Levi Kreis is the second artist in the series, appearing on April 5th. Kreis, whose roots are in traditional gospel and country, has grown his repertoire to include a broad blend of Americana, from Motown to pop. An East Tennessee native, Levi spent his youth learning everything he knows from country music’s Little Miss Dynamite Brenda Lee. Traveling on her tour bus and studying her genius on stage and off, Kreis adopted Lee’s strong work ethic and classy reputation. But it was Brenda’s ability to have an audience in the palm of her hand that Kreis sought to make his own. By all accounts, Kreis succeeded. To this day Lee confesses, “I taught him everything he knows!”
