Ollabelle (20th Anniversary) at The Iron Horse on Tuesday, January 28 2025

What once began as a collective of musicians gathering on the Lower East Side of post-9/11 New York City now enters 2025 a supergroup. Glenn Patscha (Bonnie Raitt), Byron Isaacs (The Lumineers), Tony Leone (Little Feat), Fiona McBain (The Nine Seas) and Amy Helm, a solo artist whose father Levon Helm was the spiritual godfather of Ollabelle, reunite to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their first album. Their music is joyful, accessible and exhilarating, and has earned them the respect of fellow musicians: T Bone Burnett signed them to his own imprint on Sony; Richard Thompson booked them for Britain’s Meltdown Festival; Elvis Costello, Buddy Miller, Emmylou Harris, Allison Krauss, Larry Campbell and Levon Helm all took turns sitting in with them. Come hear how they take early American gospel, folk and mountain music and drag it into the future with the utmost respect and abandon.
