Levon Helm and The Barn Burners play the Blues regularly around Woodstock, New York. Born and raised in Marvell, Arkansas Levon Helm grew up with the Blues. It was in the drinking water so to speak. Marvell Arkansas is a black dirt farming town 20 miles west of Helena, Arkansas where the Blues was entrenched. In the 50s Levon met up with Ronnie Hawkins and together they started spreading Arkansas music around the world.
Levon`s Blues comes from the heart. It shines out of his eyes and spreads across his face in the big smiles he generously passes around.
