Biografía:
Levon helm nacio el 26 de mayo de 1940 en Arkansas, geminiano con la luna en acuario. Bateria y voz de The band empezo a tocar a los ocho años, escapando de el odioso trabajo en las plantaciones de algodon en su pueblo natal Marvell.
A los 17 años empieza con The hawks, en bateria.
En 1960 se sumanRobbie Robertson, Rick Danko, Garth Hudson y Richard Manuel y en el 63 se separan de The hawks y forman Levon and The Hawks para cambiar luego de vuelta a The Hawks.
