Tune In: Free Concert Wednesdays Courtesy Of Levitt Pavilion LA

LOS ANGELES, CA — No need to translate your sheltering in place into a bland existence.

For the next five Wednesdays, beginning today, Levitt Pavilion Los Angeles is launching "Levitt en Vivo," free, live-streamed concerts, featuring local artist and bands.

Performance times vary (today's March 25 show with Brainstory starts at 4 p.m.) and will run through Wednesday, April 22.

"Understanding it is important for us to unite and celebrate during these stressful, uncertain times (while still practicing social distancing), Levitt Pavilion Los Angeles is showing up for our community the best way we know how — through music and connection," the organization said.

The live concerts will be streamed on Instagram @Levitt.LA and recorded and posted on Facebook @Levitt_LA. (Check back on the links for show times.)

The 2020 summer's 50 free concert series at the MacArthur Park venue is set to begin in June.

Levitt details the "Levitt en Vivo" schedule and band bios below:

March 25 – Brainstory is a mix of funk, rock, soul or what they call BUCK. Buck is a state of mind, a way of life, a demeanor that gets you through the good times and the bad. Kevin, Tony and Eric are a trio of brothers bounded by blood, fate and a small town with nothing to do. These guys have come a long way from their self-released EPs and opening tours with Chicano Batman. Their musical growth is undeniable, and their debut record pulls influences from so many genres seamlessly it’s hard to nail down. This show begins at 4 p.m.

April 1 – Quinto Sol Quinto Sol (QS), or Fifth Sun, caries that type of emotion and sound - deeply rooted in community and roots music - from the Americas, to the Caribbean and Africa. Having emerged from the artist/activist community of East Los Angeles in 1994, Quinto Sol is roots-reggae at its core, woven seamlessly with Latin rhythms like Cumbia, rumba, and son. Quinto Sol is a collective of musicians, inspired to use music as a tool for awareness of socio-political and economic issues facing their community

April 8 – Blanco y Negro are lovers of Jamaican sound. The group preserves the sound of '60s Jamaica: Ska, Rocksteady, Reggae; and adds a few twists to their musical creations. With contemporary influences that can be heard, there's something in their music for everyone.

April 15 – Cutty Flam is a soulful three-piece rock n’ roll band from the suburbs of the San Fernando Valley. Their sound is both retro and modern. With a tinge of Spanish language vocals, it mixes genres to produce their very own sonic signature and accurately reflects their Angeleno upbringing. They pull from their first love genre’s like Rock n’ Roll & Punk Rock, but also blend in some South American Poly-Rhythms to create new pulsating back beats they call Prom Punk.

April 22 – The Expanders are a five-piece band comprised of John Asher (Drums, Vocals), John Butcher (Guitar, Vocals), Roy Fishell (Organs), Chiquis Lozoya (Guitar, Vocals) that have been making reggae fans and critics take note with their refreshing sound that references the “golden era” of reggae. The Expanders build their sound around classic '70s and early '80s-style reggae, with three-part vocal harmonies, conscious songwriting and an indie-DIY spirit.
