Mike Levy

by Heather PharesFormerly of the Sneetches, singer/songwriter/guitarist Mike Levy crafts off-kilter pop that owes as much to his former band's sound as it does to diverse influences like Harry Nilsson, the Korgis, and Al Green. Levy began work on his solo debut Fireflies shortly after the Sneetches disbanded in 1995; five years later, Bus Stop and Parasol Records co-released the album, which also featured contributions from former Sneetches Matt Carges, Daniel Swan, and Alec Palao.
