Levon Helm Studios Presents: The Helm Family Midnight Ramble
The Helm Family Midnight Ramble is a musical tribute to the founding songbook of Rock and Roll. Born inside the hallowed walls of Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock, NY, the Midnight Ramble has preserved and furthered Levon Helm's legacy for nearly two decades, playing the iconic music of The Band, and Levon Helm.
The Helm Family Midnight Ramble crosses generational and musical lines, featuring an ever-evolving family of musicians. Amy Helm honors her father's penultimate vision for both Levon Helm Studios and the Midnight Ramble - to create a community for musicians to share their art, and "keep it going."
Special Guest Michelle Willis
Michelle Willis is a Canadian singer, songwriter and musician based in New York City.
After building an impressive resume touring in two bands led by David Crosby, supporting jazz/funk collective Snarky Puppy in their tours across the globe, and collaborating with a range of artists including Becca Stevens, Michael McDonald, Laura Mvula, Zac Brown Band, and Iggy Pop, Michelle released her sophomore album, Just One Voice.
The album features collaborations with legendary songwriter Michael McDonald, Grégoire Maret, Crosby, Stevens, and Taylor Ashton. At the Midnight Ramble, Michelle will be joined by a new band: Todd Caldwell (CSNY) on organ, Adam Minkoff (Dweezil Zappa) on bass, and Josh Dion (Paris Monster) on drums. They’ll play a collection of old and brand new material from her catalogue for this special night at the legendary Levon Helm Studios.
“Sharp, hip singer-songwriter music… If it were 1973 all over again, Willis would be touring with Dylan and releasing acclaimed albums for a generation to fall in love with”
- PopMatters
“..Rich and immersive”
- Songwriting Magazine UK.
“.. as musically radiant and soothing as it is emotionally turbulent and raw”
- Atwood Magazine
