With musical roots as deep as Amy Helm's, you won't want to miss this incredible night of FREE music in Big Sky! Please join us on Thursday, August 11, at Center Stage in Town Center Park.

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. "He was the best teacher, in so many ways," Amy says of her father. "He wasn't interested in overthinking anything; all he cared about was playing music. He saw himself as a working musician, and it was serious business and it had to be right. Playing side by side with him in the Ramble band for ten years, and building those shows with him, really changed the way I approached things, and his humility influenced and shaped me as a musician, as it did everyone who played with him."

"'Didn't It Rain' firmly establishes the younger Helm as one of Americana's most impassioned, soul-stirring singers."
