After the death of The Band’s drummer, Levon Helm, in April of 2012, a small group of Indianapolis musicians decided to get together and play the songs of The Band to honor Mr. Helm’s legacy. As word of their plans began to spread amongst the local music community, the group grew larger and it was decided to recreate The Band’s legendary final show, The Last Waltz. That concert, also a brilliant film and soundtrack directed by Martin Scorsese, features The Band as well as several of the biggest musicians of the day.

For Such a Night, the backing “Band,” is comprised of a cast of Midwestern & Louisville based musicians taking on the "parts" of Dylan, Diamond, Butterfield, Mitchell, Robertson, Helms & more. The full artist lineup will be released very soon. Be sure to mark your calendars for May 23rd , as some of the area's finest musicians recreate one of the most memorable and iconic concerts of all time.

All profits from the event will benefit Best Buddies International, a nonprofit 501 organization. It consists of volunteers that create opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The programs main purpose is to allow volunteers to be paired up with a buddy with a disability and provide them with a friend or a mentor.
