David Levy grew up in New York City and began playing music at a young age. He was formally trained on the clarinet but is a self-taught guitarist, banjo player and bassist. Lured by the sound of the electric guitar, he picked up a Telecaster and started playing in rock 'n' roll bands in the late 1960's. He and his Brooklyn-based band "Rope" relocated to Europe, touring Germany and Holland in the 1970's. Amongst others, they shared a stage with "The Flying Burrito Brothers." After returning to the U.S., he worked in the NYC music scene, playing guitar, banjo and bass. He played bass for Tom Ghent, a Nashville singer and songwriter with several albums and national hits to his credit. David went back to school in the 1980's and earned undergraduate and graduate degrees in music and psychology at Brooklyn College. In 1994, after a performing hiatus, he joined a local band where he met vocalist Kim Callison. They decided to form their own band, which started a two-year quest before they found The SugarBees' current lineup consisting of guitarist Lowell Perlman, bassist Doug Abramson and drummer John Rush.

Kim is the lead vocalist and percussionist in The SugarBees. She hails from Urbana, Ohio, a small farming town west of Columbus. She grew up in a household with a rich tradition of singing and harmonizing within the family. She inherited a strong musical talent and was influenced early on by a variety of styles ranging from bluegrass, country and rockabilly to standards of the 40's, 50's and 60's. Her vocal ability and musical influences broadened as she matured to also include a rhythm and blues sound. Kim began performing at a young age at various civic functions and talent shows. She went on to sing at county fairs, live radio shows and then started working with several local bands. She moved to the Hudson Valley in the late 1980's, attended school and devoted herself to raising a child. Her calling for music resurfaced approximately 10 years ago and since that time she has been gaining recognition among musicians and listeners alike. Aside from singing in The SugarBees, she has recorded for various songwriters and has subbed for several well-known local bands including The Phantoms.

Doug, The SugarBees' bass guitarist and backup vocalist, is a native New Yorker. He became interested in music thanks to his grandfather Aaron, who bought him a trumpet when he was just eight years old. Doug excelled musically and played the first trumpet in school bands and orchestras beginning in elementary school right up through high school. In 1970, inspired by his idol, Paul McCartney, Doug taught himself how to play bass guitar. Since then, he has worked in numerous bands throughout the Hudson Valley including Little Sammy Davis and Midnight Slim, a blues band that has been featured on the Don Imus in the Morning Radio Show. Besides The SugarBees, Doug currently performs in a 20-piece big band and local theatre musicals. He is a highly regarded bassist who continues to sub for a number of working bands throughout the local area.

Lowell joined The SugarBees in 1997 as guitarist, vocalist, and keyboardist. Born in the Bronx on New Year's Eve in 1950, Lowell's first guitar was a sunburst Stella steel string which he figured out how to play on his own while trying to learn tunes by The Ventures. And although a classically trained pianist, he eventually found his "notes" in American Roots Music. Lowell has played alongside many luminaries in the music world both on stage and in the studio. He has shared the stage with Ike and Tina Turner, Stevie Wonder, James Cotton, Doc Watson, Taj Mahal, Bob Weir, Richie Havens and the Mahavishnu Orchestra to name a few. In fact his most memorable moment may have been "trading fours" with Paul Butterfield on stage at the Joyous Lake in Woodstock. As a freelance musician in the NYC music scene during the 70's, he recorded with several RCA recording artists, and played on tracks with Valerie Simpson, Stephanie Mills, Michael Brecker, Buddy Cage, Steve Jordan, T-Bone Wolk, Will Lee, and Cornell Dupree among others. He has also played on tracks produced by George Benson, and was once almost famous. Lowell's musical influences range from John Coltrane and J.S. Bach to Roy Nichols and Otis Rush. His favorite color is blue.

John, the SugarBees' drummer, got his start at the end of the last ice age providing logistical support for the transcontinental migration of eastern Asiatic peoples to the Americas. He traveled then to Sumer, where he taught Gilgamesh how to wrestle and cobbled together the cuneiform. The Sumerians, in return, expressed their gratitude by promptly inventing creative accounting and the epic. Encouraged by this, John made his way from Mesopotamia to Meso-America. There he worked for centuries with the Olmec people to wed the media of gargantuan basaltic sculpture and comedy. But, as the archeological record indicates, the Olmec had no discernable sense of humor. So, disheartened, John languished in Middle Age from about 400-1300 A.D., which is why they call it that. Skipping ahead, John tells a story of a Friday Happy Hour during the Reformation. Breaking into the home of John Calvin with a rented angel suit and a primitive bubble machine, he spookily convinced Calvin that FUN is BAD. He swears he was kidding. "I was being ironical," he says. So, to make up for that, and to bring some unbearable lightness to your night out, he has become a SugarBee. Finally, he confirms that Lowell's favorite color is indeed blue.
