CHUCK LEAVELL
A native of Birmingham, Chuck Leavell has added his keyboard expertise to the international appearances of many of the top names in rock and roll, and has performed on some of the most outstanding recordings made during the past two decades. As a member of the Allman Brothers, the Rolling Stones, Sea Level, and the bands backing artists such as Eric Clapton, George Harrison and Mick Jagger, Leavell has toured the world contributing piano, organ and synthesizers. His recording studio excursions have included performances with the Rolling Stones, Dr. John, the Black Crowes, the Fabulous Thunderbirds, the Allman Brothers, Eric Clapton, Charlie Daniels, Marshall Tucker and many others.
As a songwriter he has collaborated with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards on the song "Back To Zero", as well as material for his own Capricorn Records group Sea Level. In the 90's, Leavell scored successes with the Rolling Stones "Steel Wheels" tour and album, the much publicized Eric Clapton "Unplugged", album-video, and with a live album from a tour of Japan with ex-Beatle George Harrison. He has appeared in movies such as "Stone To The Max" with the Rolling Stones, and the biography of Chuck Berry, "Hail, Hail Rock And Roll".
