If you were to shoot Frank Zappa with a horse tranquilizer and put him in a blender with Hiatus Kaiyote, The Barenaked Ladies, and three lemons, you would get Dov Beck-Levine, and probably arrested. The Toronto-born artist and his 4-7 piece band (rhythm, 1-3 horns) leads crowds in playful, high-energy sets that radiate pure joy. Absurdist concepts, witty lyricism, dazzling musicality, and danceable hooks converge, creating a unique sound that Dov affectionately calls “Feel-Good Fusion”.

In 2025, the now NYC-based artist is set to take a big step. A new soul-focused EP, Lights On Now, dropped on March 21, on the heels of the 2024 debut LP Eggs Don’t Ride Bikes, a joyous 15-track powerhouse four years in the making. Lights On Now‘s first single was celebrated in style with a sold out show at Manhattan's Nublu, with the EP release itself accompanied by a more exclusive “Dov and Friends” show in Brooklyn, open to those in the know. The 2025 festival season saw a number of stages, including Canada’s NXNE and a second appearance at Hartford’s Hike To The Mic. Now Dov has his sights set on community building in NYC, while he plans for the release of his second album in late 2026.
