Texas artist, Helene Cronin, calls herself a story-singer. She shares her life through emotionally honest songwriting, inviting her listeners into the storybook. Her vulnerability and the intricate detail in her writing make her songs highly relatable to audiences. For Helene, this connection is vital.

A New Folk Winner at Kerrville Folk Festival, Helene's style is a merger between the raw roots of Americana and the polished song-craft of Nashville's Country. Never setting out to be a star, songwriting brought her to the stage. She possesses a voice as much a character as the ones that inhabit her songs.

Tonight Helene will be celebrating a song newly released on Ella Langley's DANDELION album. Other artists who have recorded her songs include Cody Johnson, Bryan Martin, Heidi Newfield, and Janelle Arthur w/ The Isaacs. She owns a home in Nashville, traveling here monthly, and is well-connected in this incomparable songwriting community, writing for and with other artists. 

A prolific songwriter, Helene continues to record her own projects. Her third full-length record, MAYBE NEW MEXICO, was released in March 2025. Her absolute favorite venue to play is The Bluebird Cafe.
