Michael Levine has opened for bands such as Dave Matthews, Live, Counting Crows and the Wallflowers. His debut CD, Under the Water, was released in 1999. It received rave reviews and was on the Best Seller Lists in several Birmingham record stores. Gravity and Over My Head received airplay on Birminghams 107.7, the X, and Montgomery's 95.1, the Fox.
Michael moved to Atlanta in 2000 and released the CD Live Acoustic, recorded live at the legendary Eddies Attic in Decatur, GA. In 2003, Michael released his finest work so far, Lines Between Us, self-produced with key tracks mixed by Russ Fowler (John Mayer, Shawn Mullins, etc.). Showcasing Levine's more fun and upbeat side, Lines Between Us has already received airplay on over 30 stations nationwide. Michael teamed up with Bain Mattox to write "Smile and Grin", on one of the tracks of "Lines Between Us".
In June, 2005, Mic & Number 99 won the esteemed Eddie's Attic Open Mic Shootout, beating hundreds of nationwide artists and joining the ranks of past winners such as John Mayer, Jennifer Nettles (Sugarland) and others.
He's also been busy producing artists in his Watertown Studios and playing either bass, guitar or drums for several bands, including The Brilliant Inventions, Manifest Frequency, Matthew Kahler, Nikki Warner (check out "Won't Give Up My Love" on Nikk's site) and other artists in the Atlanta area; even an occasional gig on the bimah.

Matthew Smith is an Atlanta native who has been actively playing in the local music scene since 1993. Starting out as lead guitarist and background vocalist for an alternative rock band, he soon discovered the joys of songwriting and began performing original folk songs with various projects.

In 2001, he released his first CD, A Progression of Sorts, to rave reviews from both fans and critics alike. He is actively working on two new CDs under the name Number 99. Matthew performs extensively throughout the Southeast as an original artist and a backup musician for various bands, most recently teaming up with Michael Levine for a cutting edge type of show combining live looping, effects, tight harmonies, and just having fun.
