Lavon Stevens Band featuring Louise Spencer

Lavon has been one of Hilton Head's most popular and finest entertainers for many years. Lavon plays multi-keyboards and sings. His style ranges from jazz and blues, instrumentals, love songs and ballads to upbeat contemporary and top 40 dance music.

Born in Thunderbolt, Georgia, Lavon grew up on Gospel music. His first instrument in grade school was the Violin and eventually the Viola. He was an inaugural member of The Savannah Youth Orchestra circa 1970. Motown, Rock and Roll, and Jazz have always been among his listening influences.

Years later Lavon was a product of the music of the 70's with the band The Sensations, an eight piece soul and rock band. The band traveled all over the southeast throughout Lavon's high school and early college days.

Lavon Attended DeKalb College (Now Perimeter College) in Atlanta, Ga. '79 - '81 with a concentration in Vocal Performance. He also studied Piano and Theatre at DeKalb College. He performed all over Atlanta with Jazz and R&B groups.

Lavon then moved back to Savannah and eventually landed on Hilton Head Island, SC. Lavon has had great success on Hilton Head Since 1981. He has performed in some of the finest Hotels, Jazz Clubs, and Private Country Clubs in the country; including locations such as Aspen, Colorado, Hudson Valley Area of New York, parts of Florida, and Texas to name a few. Lavon immediately captures his audiences with the warmth of the music and the personality of the performance. He is an amazingly talented Singer/Pianist. He has a great feel for his audiences and gives all of himself with every performance.
