OFF THE AIR Presents: Levi Minson | Weston Perry
Some songs feel like old photographs—faded, lived-in, but impossible to throw away. Some nights feel like that too.
On April 18, we bring you Levi Minson and Weston Perry, two artists who know how to capture the weight of memory and the pull of motion.
Levi Minson—A third-generation Dust Bowl descendant whose music holds the quiet tension of rural life, the weight of history, and the dreamlike feeling of being in motion. His latest album, Violet Speedway, was recorded to a four-track tape recorder in a Sacramento bedroom—stripped-down, intimate, and built around the flow state of race car drivers pushing 180 mph.
Weston Perry—A man with Chattanooga roots, Memphis ties, and a Central Valley soul. He’s the kind of guy who makes instant friends, a Southern storyteller in the old tradition, with a punk streak and a guitar that doesn’t flinch. His voice is clear, intentional, unafraid to crack, bend, and mew around words to tell the story exactly the way it needs to be told. If you’re lucky, you’ve had a conversation with him. If not, here’s the next best thing.
Welcome to OFF THE AIR Presents—where indie music gets loud, quiet, weird, and honest in the heart of Modesto. We’ve been curating high-level indie music since 2005, and we’re here to remind you that live music is still king. No gimmicks, no overproduced white noise—just honest performances from the artists that get you talking, thinking, and feeling something. This is your scene. This is your community, a place to make friends and find your people. Come for the music, stay for the moments that stick.
Shows are general admission, all-ages, welcoming, and safe.
Why Modesto?
There’s something about Modesto that breeds a special kind of artist and art lover. Maybe it’s the relentless self-deprecation, the way we mock our own cultural landscape like we’re in on some cosmic joke. But there’s something deeper at play, something woven into the fabric of this city.
The musicians, the creators—they carry a certain grit, a quiet resolve that seems born out of Modesto’s hard edges. They’re not chasing fame, and yet, they pull you in, leaving you marveling at their raw, unvarnished truth.
Maybe it’s the way this place makes them see the world—no illusions, just the meaningful struggle of it all. It’s that very lens that turns the mundane into something damn near lovely.
In our Off The Air world, Modestans who complain about Modesto are probably on the brink of doing something really, really cool. That’s because, in this Off The Air space, we are here to explore how to make our world more fun, more communal, more welcoming, and all with the old-as-Central-Valley-dirt spirit of rock and roll.
