FOF #855 – Levi Kreis Live!
Standard Podcast [1:00:36m]:
Raise the roof y’all! Levi Kreis is in the house and there’s a whole lotta shaking going on.
Forgive my corny pun, but the dazzling singer and piano rocker is in Chicago at the Goodman theater co-starring in the new musical “Million Dollar Quartet” about the legendary Sun records jam session that took place on December 4, 1956, when four of popular music’s most extraordinary talents (Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley) all in their creative prime, came together for a night of music that would help lay the foundation for rock and roll.
Levi Kreis embodies the rebellious musician Jerry Lee Lewis in the show, wowing audiences both with his on and off piano acrobatics both and the power of his raw, passionate voice.
In many ways Levi carries the essence of the musical legend both in his rejection of his Baptist conservative upbringing but still embracing it’s musical roots. Levi Kreis was expelled from his Baptist University for questioning the Bible’s take on homosexuality and Jerry Lee Lewis also challenged the moral code of his day.

When we last talked to Levi, he was on tour across the country with his new album “The Gospel According to Levi” and shared with us a frank look at his life and his relationships.
You’re in for a treat today! Levi super-soaks us with his music and his voice, performing live in the home studio his hits and songs from his upcoming album “Where I Belong” scheduled to be released in January 2009.
Levi is one of those rare musicians who’s sassy personality equally matches his mastery of the piano and the power of his music is delivered by his showmanship.
Having people like Levi on the show is what keeps me personally going. He’s such a dazzling musician, charming personality and a whole lot of fun. We wish the show didn’t have to end, and neither will you.
Levi is also giving away a free song from his upcoming album to all the subscribers of the Feast Blast- click here to subscribe.
Levi shares with us every delicious morsel of music that he has in his body, as he spends over an hour chatting with us about his unusual career and how he reconciles his religious upbringing.
Goodness gracious it’s Feast of Fools!

FOFA #269 – Levi Kreis Bares His Soul
Standard Podcast:
Levi Kreis is nice. A childhood musical prodigy, his parents were blown away when at the tender young age of six he learned to play “Pomp and Circumstance” after coming home from his kindergarten graduation.
Levi spent most of his life honing his fine singing voice and musical skills, as well as dealing with being a gay man. It wasn’t easy for him. In junior high he went to Exodus Ministries secretly, hoping they would be able to “cure” him of being gay. When he came out in college, he was kicked out of his dorm room and lost a lucrative christian recording contract.
But his story has a happy ending. Nowdays Levi travels with his good pal Eric Himan around playing their catchy acoustic music in venues all around the nation. He’s out and proud. Levi helped compose the theme music for the show “Southern Baptist Sissies” and has his first single “I Should Go” in rotation on scattered radio stations throughout the country, and it was selected to be the theme song for the long-awaited reuniting of two characters on NBC’s “Days of Our Lives.” Soon after, CBS’s “Young and the Restless” (or Y&R for you soap-addicts) debuted another track off Levi’s album entitled “Hardly A Hero.”
We’d like to think that Levi is a modern day, sexy, non-cheesy version of the 80’s crooner Christopher Cross.
Listen to our in-depth interview with Levi Kreis, a deeply passionate, soulful and sensual man – it’s no coincidence that this show’s number is TWO-SIX-NINE! (As comedy legend Frank Nelson would say: “Oh yes.”) If you have a moment, be sure to check out his website: levikreis.com

FOF #462 – Get on Your Knees for Levi Kreis
Standard Podcast:
Levi Kreis fought back the tears when he sang this past summer at the closing ceremonies of the Gay Games VII at Wrigley Field. Opening for Cyndi Lauper, Levi felt he had come a long way in a bumpy ride of his life as an openly gay man in pop music.
Today Levi lives in Los Angeles with his hunky husband (who are legally domestic partners) and just finished his new album “The Gospel According to Levi.” In his new album, Levi presents a broad range of musical styles, from barbershop boy bands to ragtime-infused gospel.
You might remember seeing Levi in the movie Frailty where he plays the younger version of Matthew McConaughey’s character in Bill Paxton’s directorial debut film about a man’s confession to an FBI agent about how his religious fanatic father’s visions lead to a series of murders.
When we first talked to Levi he was touring with another FOF favorite, singer/songwriter Eric Himan. He had recently come out as a gay man and this past year he’s been working hard to re-establish himself as a musician. Things are looking good, and so is Levi.
Take a good look at Levi’s album art. We rib Levi over his album art designed by illustrator Joe Phillips who is best known for his luscious cartoons portraying the romatic life of REALLY hot young men. He makes everyone look REALLY good.
Don’t think for a moment that Levi has lost his good looks just because he’s using a cartoon to represent his album art! As you can see in the picture here, Levi is in the best shape of his life.
So much in fact that he’s scheduled to play the stripper who finds his spirit in Dell Shore’s film adaptation of his hit play Southern Baptist Sissies.
Sorry gals, he promises no full frontal nudity. Dell, can you help a brother out? Get those panties off!
Listen as we talk in-depth with Levi about getting married and finding the man of his dreams. Disappointed? Don’t be. You might still have a chance!
Do what DDBean did and stalk him in your Official Feast of Fools T-Shirt. He won’t be able to resist you.
Levi also takes questions from the listeners like you through our AIM/Yahoo messenger, feastoffools4u. Believe it or not, he actually gives some surprising advice and shares some interesting anecdotes from his past.
