Jake Singleton met Michael David Hall at a restaurant where Hall was working as a server. They began performing together and then added Ryan Holladay as well. They eventually chose to name themselves Levon after The Band's Levon Helm and the Elton John song "Levon."[1][2]

Their debut EP, Levon EP, was released on May 12, 2017,[3] "Ms. Marianne" is the lead single. [4]

In June, 2017, they were mentioned in the Tennessee Journal’s Top 5 Artists to watch at CMA fest.[5] Video for “Ms. Marianne” premiered on People.com on July 31, 2017. [6] The song was placed on Sounds Like Nashville’s 10 songs to listen to in September 2017.[7]

Levon debuted on the Grand Ole Opry on June 30, 2018. In January 2019 Levon parted ways with Sony Music Nashville.

During the spring of 2018, Levon began performing with Kyle Egart on drums.
