Levon Helm Studios Presents: The Helm Family Midnight Ramble

with special guest The Nine Seas

ft. Fiona McBain (Ollabelle) & Liz Tormes

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."

The music of Brooklyn-based duo The Nine Seas feels personal from the first note: intertwining harmonies and songs that unfold with emotional weight. 

Singer-songwriters Fiona McBain (Ollabelle) and Liz Tormes have been making music together for more than 25 years, connecting first in the late 90s NYC scene. They took their name from 9C, the Lower East Side dive bar on 9th Street and Avenue C where they first met and began playing regular gigs.

Over the years their sound grew from a shared love of old-time country and roots music,  along with their inherent 80/90s musical references,  into a cohesive whole, blending their harmonies with space and quiet intensity that feels both timeless and immediate.
