Welcome Reception Entertainment - Levi Orr
Born and raised in Mills River, North Carolina, Levi fell in love with country music at 14 and set his sights on Nashville early. After graduating from Clemson University in 2018, he moved to Music City and formed his band, The Usual Suspects—a band built on real storytelling, grit, and high-energy shows.
Influenced by Eric Church, Merle Haggard, and Johnny Cash, Levi delivers country music that’s raw, honest, and loud when it needs to be. The band’s first four singles—“Too Lost To Be Found,” “Trouble With You,” “Bigger Fish,” and “Billy Badass”—have earned over 1,000,000 streams worldwide, connecting with listeners far beyond Nashville.
As Levi puts it: “I want to write and record music that tells stories about real life with a sound that punches you in the gut. No funny business—just real music for real people.” His debut music video for “Too Lost To Be Found” premiered in late 2022 on CMT.com and YouTube.
