Levon Helm Studios Presents: The Helm Family Midnight Ramble
with Special Guest Adam Levy
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."

Adam Levy is a guitarist, singer, and songwriter whose career has gracefully bridged collaboration and personal expression. As a sideman, he’s brought his warm, intuitive guitar playing to the work of iconic artists including Norah Jones and Tracy Chapman. Levy was a key member of Jones’s band during the creation and global success of 'Come Away With Me', contributing to its genre-blurring sound with tasteful guitar lines that never overstate but always resonate. With Chapman, his playing added a subtle, soulful undercurrent to her stark, powerful songwriting—whether on stage or in the studio.
Alongside his acclaimed work as a collaborator, Levy has carved out a distinctive voice as a singer and songwriter. His solo album The Heart Collector showcases his lyrical depth and understated charm, revealing the same quiet mastery that defines his guitar work. Levy’s songs invite you in with their simplicity, then linger in your mind long after.
Levy’s music—whether in the background or the spotlight—is rooted in generosity and honesty. He plays and writes with a rare sense of space and soul, always listening as much as he leads. For listeners and fellow musicians alike, his work is a reminder that the most powerful music often comes from deep empathy and a devotion to the song above all else.
