"When you think of soul, you usually think of Aretha Franklin or maybe Mary J. Blige. You do not tend to think of the lead singer of a Toronto indie band. But now, and forevermore, I will associate Helena G's name with soul. Make that capital-s Soul. In addition to her voice, Helena G. also has the distinction of being pure joy to watch perform. Her stage presence conveys all of the energy and passion of her songs, and she transfers this energy and passion to the audience so that we feel we are on stage with her, or right inside the songs. Musically, the flamenco and folk-rock guitars fuse with the funk rhythms of the drums and bass to create an original and compelling sound. What a band to see live. Trust me."

Bio
Hailing from Toronto, Canada, Helena Garcia is no stranger to the stage. Singing professionally since the age of 9, Helena started her career as a singer in Toronto's Portuguese community and performed throughout North America and Europe as a child.
Today Helena combines her Portuguese musical roots with her love of all things acoustic to bring a new sound to the stage.
