Notes:

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Levon Helm has enjoyed an illustrious career as leader of Levon and the Hawks, a founding member of the legendary group The Band, and as a multi-Grammy award winning solo artist. In 2004, Helm conceived and began his Midnight Ramble Sessions, a series of live performances at his studios in Woodstock, NY, to celebrate his return to music following treatments for throat cancer, which silenced the famous southern voice to a whisper for over 5 years. His series has continued with regular guests including John Hiatt, Emmylou Harris, Dr. John, Elvis Costello and Allen Toussaint among many others. Helm’s Midnight Ramble would always include his great classics from his days with The Band, but also celebrate the traditional American music now referred to as “Americana," a genre in which Helm has been celebrated, winning Grammy Awards for both his albums, Dirt Farmer (2007) and Electric Dirt (2009), which earned the honour as "Best Americana Album" in the category’s inaugural year.

Joining in on the Ramble and with a full set of her own inspired music is the multi-Grammy award-winning Louisiana native, Lucinda Williams. Williams and her band will perform music from her Lost Highway release Little Honey (2008) as well as favourites from her acclaimed catalogue. Equal parts blues, folk, country and rock anchored by deeply poetic lyrics that convey the full spectrum of the human experience and the emotions associated with it, Williams has long been praised for her stunning, raw and affecting live performances.

Helm first brought his Ramble on the Road in to Massey Hall in June 2010, was both an instant sell-out and much applauded by critics and fans alike. Helm’s return to his favourite concert hall, this time with Lucinda Williams, is sure to be among 2011’s “can’t miss” concerts of the year.
