* “Roxanne” by Police
* “Smells like teen Spirit” by Nirvana
* “Valerie” by Amie Winehouse
* “I Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor
* “In the air tonight by Phil Collins

Helen, the award-winning folk singer/songwriter from Perth, has sung backing vocals for Tim Minchin and supported the likes of Jackson Browne, The Waifs, Missy Higgins, Birds of Tokyo, and Pete Murray. Her sophomore album ‘Canvas’ was released in 2022, recorded remotely with Brad Jones (Nashville) and described as “poetic and damn near perfect” (Jeff Jenkins, STACK Magazine).
