Levon Helm Band and John Hiatt & the Combo

Long time singer and drummer for The Band from Marvell, Arkansas, Levon Helm has gathered an all-star musical ensemble for his Midnight Ramble Sessions, which he hosts from his studio in Woodstock, New York. Past guests have included Dr. John, Johnnie Johnson (Chuck Berry), Donald Fagen (Steely Dan), Luther Johnson (Muddy Waters), Hubert Sumlin (Howlin' Wolf), Jon Smith (Johnny & Edgar Winter), Ollabelle, Sean Costello, Alexis Sutor, Riley Baugus and many other American Roots musicians.

A garage band veteran while growing up in Indiana, Hiatt also found inspiration in the groundbreaking songs of Bob Dylan, another figure with an encyclopedic knowledge of and love for vintage American music, plus the ability to communicate sentiments and feelings many Americans either feared or pretended didn’t exist. When he arrived in Nashville as an 18-year-old, it was clear to anyone who listened closely that he not only had a lot to say, but was presenting it in a manner that brilliantly blended passion and sophistication. Early covers of his work by the Neville Brothers, Ronnie Milsap, Bonnie Raitt and many others began alerting music lovers to his compositional flair.
