Christian artist Jimmy Levy is singing at the Skydeck in Nashville next month, and he couldn’t be more ready.
“I don’t think people understand how incredible it is that on September 2nd, right in the heart of Nashville, the largest rooftop bar/venue called Skydeck is going to host a Christian worship night in the midst of all the chaos on Broadway [Street],” the former AMERICAN IDOL contestant shared on Instagram this week. “This is going to make history. J will be headlining and everyone is welcome to come as you are. LET’S GO.”
Earlier this year, Levy worshipped at a few bars in Florida.
“I love leading worship at the most unexpected places ☦️” he said.

In another post about his upcoming worship night, he shared his hope that it would be a beautiful experience in his favorite city. After Dolly Parton’s death on Aug. 25, he shared that he’d like to dedicate the night to her, a fellow believer in Christ.
“She was a legend and she loved Jesus. I know she’s in heaven with him now,” he wrote.
Levy used to be a follower of the occult until he met Jesus. He even got a tattoo of the devil on his hand and hung around people who were devil worshippers.
“That’s when I started getting tormented at night by demons. There were times when I was smoking — I was doing a lot of things that were affecting my voice. And I couldn’t even sing at some point. I started really getting attacked constantly, constantly. And I realized that Satan was real,” he said.
At his lowest during this time, he wanted to take his own life. He had a void that wouldn’t be filled with drugs, alcohol or fame. He reached out to a friend who was a minister, who eventually helped Levy open his heart to God.
In 2021, Levy wrote, “Today makes 2 years since I started my walk by faith. God has blessed me with more than I could ask for, but not more than I could handle. Yeshua gave us independence in the spiritual realm! Not every day has been easy. I have made many mistakes, but he never failed! He is perfect! Whenever I fall, he gives me a hand! He is my reason to live this life another day!”
Now, he’s singing for God and sharing his testimony in unexpected places. Hopefully, his Skydeck worship night will attract a large crowd of listeners hungry for something real.
