Amy Helm brought her band to MASS MoCA in North Adams, Massachusetts for a set at the Freshgrass festival on September 20, 2019. Helm’s set included a cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “Atlantic City” and pro-shot video of the song has been shared by LessThanFace Productions.
Bruce Springsteen originally released “Atlantic City” on his 1982 solo album, Nebraska. The song received a second life when The Band — featuring lead vocals from Amy’s father, Levon Helm, recorded a rendition for their 1993 LP, Jericho. Numerous artists went on to cover “Atlantic City” in the style of The Band including Greensky Bluegrass, who teamed with Aoife O’Donovan for a collaborative version at Freshgrass 2019.
