   About Joe Lev and Friends
I am a professional bass player here in Sacramento with 40 years experience in most forms of American music. Joe Lev and Friends is the band name I use when I book gigs under my name, but more often I perform as a sideman. I specialize in subbing, if you need someone to step in in a hurry, I'm your man. I know hundreds of songs in many styles, read music, and have big ears. Some of the bands I am currently performing with: The Jokers ,Ron Bombardier and the Bayou Boys, Steve Foster Band, Jahari Sai Quartet, The Station Jam Band I am ready and able to do gigs of all kinds, subbing is my specialty. I am also a bass and guitar instructor, I teach at the Guitar Workshop here in Sacramento. www.guitarworkshoponline.com I currently have several openings for students. One band that keeps me busy is the Bayou Boys::
