   About Michael Leviton
I play baritone ukulele and sing. I put out my first album "My Favorite Place to Drown" on Smith Street/Acefu Records in April of 2006. And I went on tour opening for They Might Be Giants, and it's all been ridiculously fun.

Here's the music video for "Summer's the Worst", a cautionary tale about the dangers of summer romance.


Here's the music video for my song "The Beach Gets Cold" in which I play miniature golf.


Also, I sometimes videotape my musician friends playing music in my apartment. Check out videos from The Apartment here.

Hey! I'm from Argentina but I'm going to New York in november and I'm definitely getting your last album. I also hope to catch one of your live shows if you're not touring elsewhere at the time.

Have a nice day.

Hi Michael - I enjoyed your performance with your buddy, Chris Garneau, over at Joe's Pub last Friday.
Hope I'll get as lucky on my next visit to NYC to see another class act like that! Best, Raymundo

I love you. Like ferreal. You've inspired me to start playing uke (:

I suck right now since I have a crappy ukulele but whatever.

Once I get good enough I'm going to learn one of your songs so I can play it on the beach with lemonade (:

your typhoon soon passes
through lagoons, massive
labeled as buffoon fabled
picks up on canes of able
minds aligning and grinds
outright the times knights

sweets soon fall to the call

hi Mr. Lv, i dig your stylings

i too play a euk it lay laying
on my coffee tabl humming

fits to the tune of a cartoon
a bouts were i am from too

in the appalachian blue hills

Zanesville


a Krakus canned ham strong
with banjo lines meets drum
beats to the feat of everyone


play on
