On May 8, May 9, May 15 and May 30 the Midnight Ramble Band will celebrate Levon Helm's 80th birthday in the Drummer's former home of Upstate New York.
And while the first three shows will take place at Helm's Woodstock NY studio, the final performance will take place at the Mountain Jam Festival in Bethel New York.
Helm died of cancer in 2012 at the age of 71, but these shows are sure to bring his spirit alive with support from key musicians like Jackie Greene (May 8), Nicki Bluhm (May 9) and Daniel Norgren (May 15).
Presale for the May 8, 9 and 15 gigs at Levon Helm Studios will open for Barburner fan club members on Feb. 6 at 10 a.m. Public on-sale will take place Feb. 7 at 11 a.m.
As for the May 30 gig at Mountain Jam, ticket information has yet to be announced. Stay tuned to MountainJam.com for updates.
