(Press Release) Following the release of her critically acclaimed debut solo album Didn't It Rain,Amy Helm is hitting the road for a North American tour that will make stops at the iconic Newport Folk Festival, Edmonton Folk Festival, and west coast cities such as Portland and Seattle.

Earlier this year, Rolling Stone Country premiered a stunning live video for Helm's take on Sam Cooke's "Good News" and said "Didn't It Rain firmly establishes the younger helm as one of Americana's most impassioned, soul-stirring singers."

Last summer, Amy Helm released her critically-acclaimed solo debut Didn't It Rain via Entertainment One Music. The album was embraced by the likes of The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Relix, Rolling Stone and firmly established her as a solo artist.

While Didn't It Rain was her first official album as a solo artist, Helm has been making music most of her life. She's already won widespread praise as a singer, songwriter and live performer, first as a member of the celebrated alt-country/ collective Ollabelle and subsequently for her extensive work with her father, musical icon Levon Helm, who passed away in 2012.
