Helen McCreary

Helen is a wandering minstrel archaeologist. No really, she is. Born and raised in upstate New York, Helen has been a backpacking instructor in Wyoming, an archaeologist all over the world, and now she’s 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.

Helen picked up a guitar and started writing songs in the winter of 2013, when she was a few months out of college and suddenly realized that she did not, in fact, have life all figured out. Throughout 2014 – while she was working as an archaeologist in Christchurch, New Zealand – Helen documented her journey through lyrics and melodies. In January 2015, she moved to Brooklyn to record her debut EP, 'Kaikoura', and her debut full album, 'The Lovely Days'. Both her EP and album are now available on iTunes, Spotify, and the gazillion other places you can buy or stream music!
