Levon Helm Studios Presents: The Helm Family Midnight Ramble with special guest Lost Leaders
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."

With Special Guest...
Lost Leaders
Lost Leaders was born in The Barn. Originally it was a group of songs written by longtime friends Byron Isaacs (The Lumineers) and Peter Cole (of 2000’s pop/rock TV placement juggernaut Lava Baby). Byron was playing in Levon’s band at the time and so the friends were invited to live and record at Levon's home studio for a few weeks. Playing the Midnight Ramble in 2011 was essentially their first gig as Lost Leaders.

The resulting Lost Leaders album won fans in the press. RELIX called it “...a timeless sound that could have materialized just as easily in Laurel Canyon as in Woodstock, N.Y...a band out of time [and] perfectly in the now. ..” No Depression wrote, “I love this album. I love it. I want to run out to the street and plug my earbuds into the nearest ears I can find and force them to listen to Lost Leaders...Among my top picks for this year...” The song "I’m Gonna Win" was picked up in heavy rotation by AAA station WXPK in White Plains, NY and from there it spread across the country. With no label they chased the train as it was leaving the station.
For the follow up LP, Promises Promises they worked with Woodstock producer David Baron (The Lumineers, Jade Bird, Meghan Trainor, Vance Joy). After touring in support of that record, the Jealous Sun E.P. emerged. The lead single “Long Way Down” was the most added song at Americana radio in June 2022 and landed in the top 100 nationally later that summer. In a strange and unexpected tangent Peter was cast in Hannah Ha Ha, the debut film from Jordan Tetwesky. The film went on to win Best Narrative Feature at Slamdance Film Festival and was screened at film festivals around the world. Peter’s performance was even called out in a wonderful review in the New York Times.
Getting back to what they do best, Byron and Peter spent 8 weeks in a studio in Marlboro, NY, in 2023. Lost Leaders has a new full length album coming soon. It explores desire and acceptance and is aptly titled Hungry Ghosts.
