Live Music: June 7, 2016, 8pm-12am, The Way Station, 683 Washington Ave, BK, http://waystationbk.blogspot.com/ $5 suggested donation

8pm- Leslie Helpert
Genre: Avant-Americana
For fans of: Silence, Debussy, Lucinda Williams, Built To Spill and Meditation.

Rocking the guitar for over 25 years, this lady is a veteran of underground performance. Leslie Helpert’s narrative poetic shit drops from the imagery-rich, meticulous creation of her verbose pen and reaches the stage through highly developed vocal technique. She’s never been comfortable with her human name, but hasn’t ever had the kitsch sensibility to effectively change it. Influenced more by life-seeking homeostasis than by one artist or another, her pieces -- which some call songs -- are sonic paintings; she articulates her personal global lexicon. Peter Kronreif, the strong, handsome Austrian has been wrangled in like a horse to play with her.

“Leslie Helpert perfectly embodies my idea of an artist. She is beautifully quirky, speaks in a language of images, and is keen to all that makes life potent... Helpert explores the rich timbre of her voice, embodying at once punk music and the sounds of a distant time.” - Lux Illuminates
