Bio / Background
Quoted in the Los Angeles Times on January 2003 and called a "Kiwi Siren."
Helen Henderson singer/songwriter from New Zealand is based in Los Angeles.
Helen sings and writes about the south... the South Pacific, that is. The music is a pleasing clash of cultures. A seasoned West Coast band of guitar pickers, haunting ballads and raunchy rock songs sung by a grassroots girl from "Down Under".
One review described described her as "a less world-weary Lucinda Williams and a more rootsy Shania Twain. . . Henderson matches her powerful backing with confident originals and a convincing mid-American voice."
But in spite of the western trappings, it's the folk demons of her Southland childhood that she returns to in "The Ballad of Minnie Dean," the appropriately dirge-like tale of a woman done wrong and a woman done wrong by in the late 1890's in Invercargill, New Zealand, Helen's hometown.
