Steve “Hawk” Levy moved to Hollywood Florida at the age of 13 from New York.  At that early age Hawk found himself listening to big band sounds like Count Bassie, Louis Jordan and Benny Goodman when his peers were listening to rock. It took Levy 17 years of music appreciation before he discovered the blues at a Nighthawks show. The next day Hawk took up an instrument, the harmonica. Levy took to the instrument rapidly, craving to play at every possible opportunity.  Within 8 months he had his own band, Harps ‘N Chords. By 14 months Harps .N Chords were paying major blues festivals.

            During the next 15 years Hawk later became known as Hurricaine Hawk which evolved into a band called Hurricaine Hawk and the Invaders. 
        The original band included Tommy D’Stephano aka Big Daddy of Big daddy and the Reign, John Stratton, Tony Mancuso and Dave Race.  The band member have evolved since then, getting bette all the time. From 1995 to present the invaders played regionally around Florida and at numerous festivals, including the prestigious Riverwalk Blues Festival for 4 years.

            Hawk has shared the stage with some great blues performers, just some of which included Bob Margolin, James Peterson, Jimmy Thackery, John Cephas and Phil Wiggins, Cookie and the Vagrantz, The Dhali Lamas, Sapphire, Benoit King, and Rock Bottom, The Nighthawks, Pinetop perkins to name a few. During his tenure in the blues he has produced 3 recordings, Harps N Chords , Hurricaine Hawk and the Invaders (Emotional Invasion), and Hurricaine Hawk & Midnight Johnny.  Levy has recorded on other numerous  recordings. 

            Theater in recent years opened Levy to a different creative avenue to pursue. He performed and sang as a featured artist in MJM Productions Tommy and Jesus Christ Superstar with numerous supporting roles in both.

            In 2003 Hawk was given the opportunity to host a blues show on NPR Radio affiliate WQCS 88.9 FM. His show ran for 67 weeks as the Hurriciane Hawk Blues Hour. The Blues hour spanned all of  the jump, and swing era music that was so closely related to the blues. The show was educational as well as informative as Levy delved into the depths of the origination of the blues. Levy connected the start of the blues as hollers in the fields of slavery to the swing and jump era of Louis Jordan, all the way on up to the rocking blues of today.  The show was well received from Cocoa Beach to Boca Raton Florida.

During one of their shows you are going to hear some recognizable covers, but most of their tunes are catchy, tongue and Cheek Originals.
