Last year Amy Helm killed it! She had Cindy Cashdollar on Dobro and Scott Metzger on Lead Guitar, great band, great show! This is a neat music scene in a town park by the train station. Plenty of free parking in the train station parking lot on both sides of the tracks. No sticker required on weekends or after noontime on weekdays. They provide The Angry Hippie Food Truck, Beer & Wine sales. BYOB is not technically permitted but  doable if discretion is taken (use a solo cup).

*************************

Although the personally charged, organically soulful Didn't It Rain is her first release under her own name, AMY HELM has been making music for most of her life. She's already won widespread praise as a singer, songwriter and live performer, first as a member of the celebrated alt-country collective Ollabelle and subsequently for her extensive work with her father, musical icon Levon Helm, who passed away in 2012. 

Blessed with a commanding, deeply expressive voice and an uncanny songwriting skill that instinctively draws upon a deep well of American musical traditions, Amy Helm delivers a timelessly powerful statement with Didn't It Rain. 

The spellbinding dozen-song set is rooted in first-person experience, exploring universal themes of life, love and loss on such musically and emotionally resonant originals as the smoldering soul ballad "Rescue Me," the hushed, lilting "Deep Water," the meditative "Roll Away" and the stark, haunting "Wild Girl." Complementing Helm's originals are her personalized takes on the Sam Cooke classic "Good News" and the traditional title track, which she delivers with the heartfelt gospel urgency that's always been an element of her vocal persona.
 

Opening this show will be Sam Morrow with Band
