About Chuck Leavell
Chuck Leavell has been pleasing the ears of music fans for more than 30 years now. His piano and keyboard work has been heard on the works of Eric Clapton, The Rolling Stones, The Black Crowes, George Harrison, The Allman Brothers Band, The Indigo Girls, Blues Traveler, Train, Montgomery-Gentry, Lee Ann Womack and many, many more. In addition to being a well established pianist/artist in the music industry, Leavell is also a published author, tree farmer, and keeps busy with his advocacy work on behalf of the environment.

In 1972, shortly after the death of Duane Allman and prior to the death of Berry Oakley, Leavell was asked to join the Allman Brothers Band. He was barely 20 years old at the time. The first album he recorded with the band was Brothers and Sisters, which included the classics “Ramblin' Man” and “Jessica.” The album hit number one on Billboard's Pop charts. He went on to record two more albums with them before the Allmans disbanded.

The record-breaking 2005-2007 Rolling Stones' “A Bigger Bang” tour marked Chuck's 25th year with the band, and has shown yet again that the Stones are indeed the "World's Greatest Rock 'n Roll Band.” The summer and early fall of 2007 found Leavell back with the Stones for a European tour. This was an extension of the “A Bigger Bang” tour, and completed the 147 show two year run for the band, another record-breaking tour for the Stones.

After the Rolling Stones' “A Bigger Bang” tour ended in August of 2007, Leavell stayed on in Europe to do a solo tour called “Green Leaves and Blue Notes.” There he performed with some of Germany’s best musicians, and the result is captured on a new double live CD called Chuck Leavell Live in Germany.

His most recent release, Southscape has been described as “Southern Jazz”. With Tim Ries and Randall Bramblett contributing their talents on saxes and a rhythm section of experts Michael Rhodes on bass and Chad Cromwell on drums, with a guest appearance on two tracks by Larry Carlton, this exciting new music raised the eyebrows of fans and critics alike.
