Maybe you’ve always wanted to go to one of Levon Helm’s Midnight Ramble concerts, but just kept putting it off because either the special guests weren’t all that special or because the good shows were already sold out. Well, mark this one in your calendar. The Ramble on Saturday, September 12 features the Levon Helm Band with the Little Feat guitar tandem of Paul Barrere and Fred Tackett.

Canadian rockers the Tragically Hip take over The Egg in Albany on Thursday, October 15. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, July 31.

And on a disappointing note, veteran folk music torchbearer Mike Seeger has cancelled his performance at Maverick Concerts in Woodstock, which was scheduled for Saturday, July 25.
