John Mayer, My Morning Jacket, Ray LaMontagne to Perform at "Love for Levon"

Levon Helm

Musicians and friends will join together to celebrate the life and music of Levon Helm at "Love for Levon" on October 3rd. The star-studded benefit concert will take place at the Izod Center in East Rutherford, New Jersey and will feature once-in-a-lifetime collaborations.

Performances will include GRAMMY, CMA, ACM, Americana and Dove Award-winning musicians: John Mayer, My Morning Jacket, Ray LaMontagne, Eric Church, Gregg Allman, Dierks Bentley, Marc Cohn, Patty Griffin, Warren Haynes, John Hiatt, Bruce Hornsby, Jorma Kaukonen, The Levon Helm Band, Robert Randolph, Mavis Staples, Joe Walsh, Lucinda Williams and more.

All net proceeds from the concert will help support the lasting legacy of Levon Helm by helping his estate keep ownership of his home, barn and studio, and to continue The Midnight Ramble Sessions.

"We are deeply moved that so many musicians and friends of Levon's are coming together to celebrate his life and his music, and to help us keep his musical spirit and vision alive in the Midnight Rambles," said Sandy and Amy Helm, Levon’s wife and daughter. "We want to continue to honor his legacy by creating a musical landmark at the Barn, one that inspires and celebrates Americana music and its heritage."

With a career that spanned over five decades, Levon Helm was an inspiration to musicians around the world with his deep respect, joy and love for music. Whether he was hitting the Arkansas 4-H Club circuit as a child, to performing with Bob Dylan, garnering success with The Band and nurturing a successful solo career, that included multiple GRAMMY Award wins, Levon was always a passionate performer who captivated audiences with an unmistakable voice and rhythmic power all his own.

His Levon Helm Studio has hosted musicians across multiple genres and his creation of The Midnight Ramble Sessions, a series of live performances at his studio, has seen performances from the likes of Elvis Costello, Kris Kristofferson, The Black Crowes and My Morning Jacket.

"We are honored to produce a benefit concert that pays tribute to a musical icon and a beautiful soul," commented show producer Keith Wortman. "Levon's friends and fans will be coming from all over the world to be part of music history for such a noble and worthy cause to ‘Save The Barn,’ and ensure that the legacy of Levon Helm will live on for generations to come."

Tickets go on sale Wednesday, August 28th.

Happy Birthday, Hayden Panettiere!!

Congratulations are in order for Hayden Panettiere. The actress, singer, and activist turns 23 today. Happy birthday, Hayden!

The New York-born Panettiere got her start in soaps, playing Sarah Roberts on One Life to Live and the cancer-stricken Lizzie Spaulding on Guiding Light. Hayden followed her soap years with a string of minor roles before landing the part of Sheryl Yoast in 2000’s Remember the Titans. The talented young actress went on to star in a number of films and television series, including Ally McBeal, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Malcolm in the Middle, Raising Helen, and Ice Princess. However, Panettiere is perhaps best known for her role as cheerleader Claire Bennet on NBC’s Heroes.

Hayden is also an enthusiastic activist who supports The Whaleman Foundation, a group dedicated to defending dolphins, whales, and other sea creatures from commercial hunters. In 2007, she confronted a group of Japanese fisherman to prevent them from hunting dolphins, a confrontation which appears in the award-winning documentary The Cove.

Hayden’s more recent projects include Scream 4 and Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italy. Fans can next catch her in the upcoming ABC series Nashville as well as the film Over the Wall.

StarCam wishes Hayden Panettiere a happy 23rd birthday and the best of luck in the coming year!
