Amy Helm

A singer, instrumentalist, and songwriter with a rich pedigree, Amy Helm was a veteran performer with years of recording and touring experience under her belt before she first stepped forward as a solo artist in her forties. A lifelong musician and music lover, Helm's parents -- the Band's legendary drummer and singer Levon Helm and singer/songwriter Libby Titus -- guided her training and influences. As a founding member of the alt-country collective Ollabelle and a backing musician in her father's Midnight Ramble Band, her unique vocal phrasing -- as displayed on her 2015 debut Didn't It Rain -- resides in the spectral musical terrain between country, gospel, blues, and folk. Helm has continued to expand her sound, working with Joe Henry for 2018's This Too Shall Light and Josh Kaufman for 2021's What the Flood Leaves Behind.
