Amy Helm Showcases Strong New Material at Woodbridge Concert

Amy Helm paid tribute to her father, Levon Helm, in both obvious and not-so-obvious ways when she and her four-piece band performed at the free, outdoor Woodbridge Wednesdays concert series at Woodbridge High School, on Aug. 25.

She talked about Levon, who died in 2012, before performing Bruce Springsteen’s “Atlantic City” (see video below) — memorably covered by Helm and The Band on their 1993 album Jericho — and dedicated it to him.

Helm will also be at the Mt. Tabor Tabernacle in Parsippany (double billed with Steve Forbert), Sept. 17 at 7:30 p.m., and will perform at the Lantern Tour concert (also featuring Emmylou Harris, Larry Campbell and Teresa Williams and Gaby Moreno and benefiting migrant and refugee families) at the Scottish Rite Auditorium in Collingswood, Oct. 30 at 8 p.m.
