Great venue, perfect seats. Artists were enthusiastic and talented. Only way it could have been better would have been to move a little faster between acts- lot's of time spent looking at blank stage on a work-night.Written on Aug 18 2010

Could not have been better. There was not a dull moment from the opening single act (great, but I could not hear his name in the noise), through Jenny Lewis, Levon Helm and Steve Earle. One of the best music shows I have ever seen. Felt like I was part of something special.Written on Aug 17 2010

Description
With a career spanning over 5 decades, Levon Helm is sure to captivate his audience young and old, with a rhythmic power all his own. Helm achieved national fame as the drummer and frequently lead and backing vocalist for the R&B/rock group The Band. His deeply soulful, country-accented voice and creative drumming style is highlighted on many of The Band’s recordings such as “The Weight”, “Up on Cripple Creek”, “Ophelia” and “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down”.
In September of 2007, Dirt Farmer Music and Vanguard Records released Dirt Farmer, Levon's first solo, studio album in twenty-five years, which earned him a Grammy award for “Best Traditional Folk Album” in February 2008. Helm released his follow-up CD, Electric Dirt in 2009. The intimacy of the shows performed at Levon’s hearth offer a hospitality and warmth found in no other venue, not to mention the excellence of the performances themselves, hosted by a man whose gifts are legendary.
Jenny Lewis, known for her rock band Rilo Kiley over the past 10 years, has transformed from a shy indie-rocker singing barely above a whisper into an authoritative, take-no-prisoners singer / songwriter / frontwoman. Tack sharp and unafraid of subject matter of any height or weight, channeling songs through either Rilo Kiley or her solo work, her staggering range as a writer has brought her critical acclaim around the globe.
Lewis has released two solo albums including her latest work Acid Tongue, where she collaborated with several notable musician friends. The album's tracks, disparate as they are, share a sparkling vitality; Lewis' voice has never sounded so expressive and the narratives have never been so hard-hitting and acerbic.
Steve Earle is set to release Townes, his highly anticipated follow up to the Grammy Award winning album Washington Square Serenade, on May 12th via New West Records. The 15-song set is comprised of songs written by Earle’s friend and mentor, the late singer-songwriter, Townes Van Zandt. Townes will also be available as a deluxe two-CD set, as well as double Limited Edition 180 gram vinyl.
