SXSW Music has just announced a special Levon Helm Tribute and Benefit that will be held at Austin’s Auditorium Shores on Saturday, March 16th. This “all-day concert” will feature the Midnight Ramble Band (formerly known as the Levon Helm Band) fronted by Amy Helm with “special guests.” All proceeds will go towards Keep It Goin’, a program designed to save and preserve Levon Helm Studios and the Midnight Ramble programming.
