Levi Blom, the talented and rising singer/songwriter from Butte, Montana, has released his newest EP, Shiftin’ Gears,  a truly outstanding collection of songs which will leave listeners craving for more. Shiftin’ Gears is available through multiple retail outlets including the official Levi Blom website, www.leviblom.com, and can be found on several online digital platforms such as iTunes and Spotify.

Raw energy and slick production with a modern feel, Shiftin’ Gears portrays emotions of love as well as the trials of life that country fans across the world will surely find truly enjoyable.

Blom draws on his own life experiences and struggles for his songwriting, most acknowledged in the heartfelt song “Save Me.” From the opening guitar motif, the intimate acoustic arrangement of this gem highlights Levi’s emotional pleas throughout the lyrics, pulling on the heartstrings of every listener who has ever experienced deep and meaningful relational love.

The Shiftin’ Gears EP is comprised of six different and unique songs, the aforementioned “Save Me,” “How ‘Bout It?,” “Hope You’re Doin’ Well,” “Slyde,” “Wide Open,” and the title track, “Shiftin’ Gears”.

The track which resonates most for Levi is the powerful ballad “Hope You’re Doin’ Well”, dedicated to his best friend Wyatt who tragically passed away; it holds a special place in his heart as growing up with him and losing him at a young age left an ache in his heart.

When asked about what inspires his songwriting, Levi explains, “Right now, in my life, I am shiftin’ gears from being focused for so long on my hockey career to now focusing on my music career. These songs are all a piece of me, having been written about true events in my life. I wanted everything I put out there to be a true piece of me or a memory of something that had happened in my life.”

Levi has a friendly, down-to-earth manner and understands how country music connects to the everyday struggles of hard-working individuals. He knows how a good song could touch the lives of the people and speak to their hearts. The singer/songwriter is thankful for everything he experienced in his life – both the good and the bad. It has provided him a positive point of view on life and helped him form his music.
