shareI met Levon Helm in Sarasota Florida in January of 2005. We wererecording Den of Thieves in Toronto and our producer Jack Douglas had to duck out for a few days to present an award to Levon at the Sarasota film festival. The award was for musicians who’ve crossed over into acting in a significant way. Levon was being honored for his roll as “the Coal Miner” in the Coal Miner’s Daughter. Jack invited me along for the trip, which was a welcome break from the cold Canadian winter. At the rehearsal lunch for the awards I was introduced to Levon through Jack.
“This is John-Angus from a Canadian band I’m working with called the Trews” said Jack. Levon replied graciously “Well isn’t that great, good luck to ya! “
then he held my hand with both of his hands, leaned in a little closer and said “ ..actually, good luck to all of us”.
At this point he’d already been through his first round battle with cancer and I’m not sure if it had re-occurred by then or not but it certainly felt like a profound moment to me. We had lunch together then later that night I got to watch him pound the skins like no other from the front row. It was a magic moment I will always cherish. Good luck to you Levon as you cross the great divide. You are a bad ass and you will be greatly missed.

Played a couple of great shows last week in Ontario and Newfoundland. Thank you too everyone for coming out. I’m in Nova Scotia this week hanging with friends and family and getting ready to play a show in Moncton, NB for the ECMAs. Time off is overrated, so we’re getting in the white van and hitting the clubs in the USA for the rest of April. For all you fans interested in winning tickets to our shows, we’ll be hosting a Facebook contest. All you have to do is share the event on your wall and tag the Trews. Don’t forget to “like” us first and make sure you messaging is enabled so we can let you know if you won!
Hopefully you yankees will come party with us canucks. Looking forward to visiting all the great cities and playing some muzak for y’all. Let’s cross the great divide and come together over The Trews at a bar near you.
Here’s a little video that our road manager Lenny put together from our Canadian tour in March. Enjoy!
