Helen Henderson was born and raised in Southland in New Zealand's South Island. She started her musical career in London, and is now based in Los Angeles. Her first CD The Sonora Sessions (2000) , recorded in Los Angeles had excellent reviews: "She carries these songs on the strength of her songwriting which is right out of the Southern traditions..."traditions....” Nick Bollinger. "A highly convincing introduction to someone we could happily hear more from." Graham Reid Her 2009 CD was recorded at F.A.M.E.Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, fondly referred to as "the cradle of rock and roll." The 11 tracks on the album are hugely accessible rock /country with an edginess seldom heard. Her voice is powerful and restrained at the same time. 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." The CD features stunning new material played by some of the world’s finest international musicians.
