Tim Gunderman, John Hannum, Fran Reagan and Lawrence Strauss invite you for a night of rock and roll at the Loft. We'll be playing old and new faves till 1. So, come have a time!

The name Little Levity was a collaboration between Tim and me (Lawrence). I had the name Levity in mind and Tim thought that didn't say enough. I argued back. But then he suggested adding the name "Little", and when he explained it to me, I quit arguing. It did seem perfect, because, as Tim told me, little levity can mean either a little bit funny or not funny at all. Think about, Killer.

Little Levity was born out of an earlier Worcester, Mass band, Acacia. Tim and I were founding members of Acacia; Fran played along on occasion.

And, I suppose those symbols were derived from the Led Zep idea, or maybe they're more like Gene Simmons's eye-bat-wing and Peter's cat make-up. Tim's is an Enso, meaning spontanaeity. John's symbol is a nod to the original guitar hero. Fran's is a guitar body and f-hole-derived shape (when I first encountered Fran, he was playing guitar). Mine is a face built of my initials.

From VegFest's Facebook page: Little Levity has been playing rock around New England for almost 10 years. The repertoire spans from Hoagy Carmichael to the Beatles to Jarle Bernhoft to their own compositions, including their Worcester-themed rock opera, The Glass Man. Little Levity has played to fundraise at Maple Farms Sanctuary as well as a laundry list of other places in and around Worcester.

In 2009, Little Levity, then a trio (to my understanding, John was not yet born), recorded at the studio of Paul Provost, Muse Lodge. The sample song, All's Well, above (requires Flash and Javascript), was recorded during these sessions (that's Bill Lebeau whistling on there). The photo, above, is by the great Dennis Vandal of Amherst, Mass.
