The Perfect Venue

Levon Helm has the life. A musician in The Band and head of 'The Midnight Ramble'. What is 'The Midnight Ramble'? Well, its something, I kind want to keep to myself, but I'd burst if I tried. So, get ready to skim, becuase I can't say it better than what is already on the site.

'A gracious host, Levon invites you to his home studio in Woodstock, N.Y. The first thing you’ll notice, if you get there early enough, is the natural beauty of your surroundings. His property is set in the Catskill Mountains with a large lake not too far from the house, surrounded by lush, thick forest. There’s a serenity and peacefulness to the scene that’s contrasted later in the evening by music that will rock your soul, knock off your socks, and leave you grinning from ear to ear!

Inside “The Barn,” which is really a large recording studio attached to Levon’s home, you’ll see a stage, a cozy fireplace and plenty of seating. The ambiance of the place will give you a feeling that is personal and intimate, casual and friendly, and you know you are about to be part of something very special.

Levon has been in the business of making music for over forty years and if the walls of “The Barn” could talk, what stories they would tell! Music legends galore have played, jammed and recorded there and he is happily continuing that tradition. He based his Ramble Sessions on the southern medicine shows of his youth and has invited some of the most notable blues entertainers and musicians of our time to perform at The Rambles.

Once the show starts, get ready! Levon Helm and his fellow musicians play with such joy, energy and enthusiasm, you will find it difficult not to fly out of your seat! The show is not the usual hour-and-a-half that most entertainers provide at a concert. It runs about four hours and often, Levon will greet his guests personally. His genuine warmth and the sincere desire to share his talents and love of music make for an evening that is not just unique, but an experience you will find unforgettable. You will leave smiling and, like most of us, will want to come back for more. Looking forward to seeing you there!'
