Levon Helm – The Man Behind the Legend

Back in 2003, Levon Helm played a small but spectacular evening of music at The Black Potatoe (yes,
with an “e”) Music Festival in Central New Jersey. Black Potatoe was, and continues to be, a gem of a
small festival where virtual unknowns and gifted local talent shared a line-up with some of the great
musicians and legends of our time. Among these greats was the great Levon Helm.

Steve Kimock is touring in 2012 for the first time in many years. Beginning in early May,  joining Steve will be  Bernie Worrell on keys (Parliament Funkadelic, Talking Heads), drummer Wally Ingram (Sheryl Crow, David Lindley), and bassists Andy Hess (Gov’t Mule, Black Crowes) and Reed Mathis (Tea Leaf Green, SKB). 


Creating images of artists is the primary focus at Concert Photos Magazine, however when the offer was made to do a phoner with Steve we eagerly jumped at the opportunity.
The second portion of  the taped interview is being transcribed and to be published with photo recap article of next Saturday 12 May 2012 show in Portland, ME.

SK: Yes, although I still want a cigarette every 10 or 15 secs…
