“Levon Helm–Ramble at the Ryman” Airs Tonight

PBS (WNPT ch. 8 in Nashville) will premiere Levon Helm — Ramble at the Ryman tonight (6/25) at 8 PM. The show will also be part of their featured national Pledge Drive Campaign beginning in August 2009.

The Ramble at the Ryman was an historic evening. On the opening night of the Americana Music Festival and Conference last fall, the legendary Helm gathered an unparalleled group of musicians and special guests including Sam Bush, Sheryl Crow, John Hiatt and Buddy Miller for a night of stage magic. The performance is a veritable tour through the Americana songbook, featuring beloved tunes from Helm’s tenure with The Band, as well as selections from Dirt Farmer and classics from artists such as Chuck Berry, the Carter Family, and more. Captured in HD, Levon Helm–Ramble at the Ryman was produced by High Five Entertainment, Dirt Farmer Music and the Americana Music Association.
