About This Songwright
Stripping music down to its absolute essentials, Lamar, Missouri’s Levi Coats (Jeff Evans) lets his hands do the talking. Operating with a straightforward, no-nonsense approach to his craft, Levi has built his musical foundation entirely around the strings, mastering both the driving rhythm of the bass and the melodic versatility of the guitar. By focusing on the raw interplay of tone and timing, he cuts through the noise of modern production to deliver something fundamentally grounded and authentic.
With his official showcase debut locked in for June 20, 2026, Levi is ready to bring this minimalist, instrument-first philosophy to the regional stage. Whether locking into a groove on the bass or carving out a melody on the guitar, his performance is a testament to the power of keeping things simple, direct, and honest. For audiences who appreciate a musician who prioritizes the pure mechanics of a good instrument over flashy theatrics, Levi Coats offers a refreshing return to musical basics.
