Equally at home in the concert hall and on the dance stage, she’s taught fiddle, song, and dance at camps and festivals around New England, toured nationally with her band Polaris and now tours with her quartet Stove Dragon and duo Helen & Rose. https://www.rose-jackson.com/ 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐧 𝐊𝐮𝐡𝐚𝐫: they/them Hailing from Seattle, Washington, Helen currently resides in Cambridge, MA. Helen began exploring their connection to folk and Celtic music in 2020 while studying with renowned contra guitarist Alex Sturbaum. Upon moving to Cambridge in 2022, Helen dove into the thriving celtic music scene, playing contra dances, Irish sessions, and concerts around New England and the Pacific Northwest. Since then, Helen has developed their style as a contra accompanist, Irish session backer, and vocalist. https://www.helenkuharmusic.com/ 𝐅𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐧' 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐧: they/them A professional fiddler, singer and banjo player living on the territories of the lekwungen and W̱SÁNEĆ people, colonially known as Victoria BC.
