About the Show

Bettye Lavette will take the stage as the special guest on the 27th.

Levon Helm was in the right place at the right time. He saw the birth of rock and roll and though he's too much of a gentleman to say it, his role in helping to keep that rebellious child healthy is more than just instrumental.

Recent releases produced by Levon Helm Studios include Volume I and II of The Midnight Ramble Sessions, plus a live RCO All-Stars performance from New Year's Eve 1977, at the Palladium which came from Helm's personal "vault." The vitality and magnetism of these recordings speak for themselves.

The 2007 release, Dirt Farmer , was Levon's first solo, studio album in 25 years. A project particularly close to his heart, the CD contains music reminiscent of his past and songs handed down from his parents. Dirt Farmer was awarded a Grammy for Best Traditional Folk Album in February 2008.

Helm's dynamic follow-up CD, Electric Dirt, released in June 2009, took home another Grammy for best album in the new Americana category.
