Helen is a wandering minstrel archaeologist. No really, she is. Helen has been a backpacking instructor in Wyoming, an archaeologist all over the globe, and is now a singer-songwriter based in NYC. She enjoys long walks through the wilderness while looking for artifacts, making music with lovely people, and talking about herself in the third person. Her music is based on “folk roots, acoustic sonority, intricate melodic phrasing… and a vocal-centric aesthetic.” (Pandora Radio)

“… very organic, relaxing indie folk…” - Mid Tennessee Music

“Helen’s amazing voice will put you in a tranquil state of mind no matter your mood.” - indiemunity

10pm- The Healing
Genre: Soul, Hip Hop
For fans of: Jimi Hendrix, The Roots, Radiohead, Miles Davis, Kendrick Lamar, Gentai Kaijo

Music is The Healing. The Healing will be a jam session of sorts where artists (poets, musicians, songwriters) can come together to create freely, without worrying about confines of what music should be. The house band, the Travelers (www.thetravelers.nyc) will be welcoming musicians to create with us, onstage, in communion.

“The entire sound straddles the fence between rock-soul, fusion jazz, and indie rock” - Shaine Freeman, The Miews
