About this listen

We have been waiting for the perfect time to bring back our very first guest. Helena Holleran is a soulful songstress that lives music. It’s not surprising that over time she has put together one of the most talented groups of musicians in the area. A few Barn Time Alumni make up her “super group”. Malachi Johnson on Drums, Anthony Cullins on Guitar and Ty Kiernan on Percussion (Ep.7/Ep.24) are also joined by soon to be new father and great human being David Issac on Bass and cosmic master of space & time Kurtis Ray on Saxophone. This all star cast really makes Helena’s well crafted songs come to life. People often compare Helena’s voice to the great Joni Mitchell, but the fact is her voice and her sound is very unique in its own right. As even more of a treat we also had Brad Zell from QSC joining us. Brad and Helena often gig together and have been friends for a while. He also joins the band on bass for the last tune.   

Helena can be found playing all over San Diego and Orange County most nights of the week, which I'm sure keeps her chops up and inspiration flowing. Her new record is due out next year and will no doubt lead her to touring the world and the great success she is destined for. Not only a great musician, but Helena and her band are the nicest, most humble people you’ll meet. Do yourself a favor and keep your eye on this emerging star.  https://helenaholleranmusic.com/
