This Wheel’s Still On Fire: The Legacy of Levon Helm explores the life, legacy, and continued influence of Levon Helm. From his earliest years growing up in Turkey Scratch, Arkansas, Levon was surrounded by music and community. Helm began his music career in high school when Ronnie Hawkins invited him to join his band. By the early 1960s, Levon and Hawkins had recruited Canadian musicians Rick Danko, Richard Manuel, Garth Hudson, and Robbie Robertson to form Levon and the Hawks, which later became Bob Dylan’s backing group, The Band.

The exhibit features never-displayed items including personal photographs, instruments from The Band members, tour memorabilia, awards and interviews with friends and fellow musicians including Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne, Max Weinberg and more. This Wheel’s Still On Fire will also allow guests to follow in Helm’s footsteps and play the drums as Ramble Band guest drummer and multi-instrumentalist Charley Dayton provides a video tutorial.
