   About Joe Lev and Friends
I am an 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 subing, 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. Bands I am currently performing with: Ron Bombardier and the Bayou Boys, Steve Foster Band, Stacie Eakes and the Superfreakes, Steve Gatz and Double Shuffle 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::

I've been doing pretty good. I've been tuning pianos here in Berdoo for about 4 years now, trying to stay busy. Great to hear you're giging alot & playing with Steve. He's a great player & a hell of a nice guy. I've known him for years. I bought both of my amps from him in the early 90's. Tell him I said hi. Looking forward to jamming with you again soon. I should be up there in June, I'll look you up.

Peace & wisdom to you,
Jeff
