We're Through - Single

Helen Townsend with Shannon Smith

Buy track

“We’re Through” is an upbeat break up song with a sweet flavour and bitter message. Weaving between melody and harmony Helen and Shannon perform a duet that has you bopping along, but feeling forlorn for a love that was, but is no more.

Devils Curse - Single Release

Helen Townsend

Buy album

This FIRST SINGLE RELEASE of the upcoming EP "Love, Lies 'n' Leaving", Devils Curse is a stripped back, acoustic cry out to that loved one who is making all the wrong choices and heading down a path of destruction.

Confessing their own weaknesses, Helen & Shannon plead for the listener to turn around to avoid “The Devils Path”. Featuring James Church (Montgomery Church) on Dobro, Devils Curse invokes the feeling of pleading for mercy upon a lost soul! You get the sense that Co-Writers Helen Townsend & Belle Harvey were sipping whiskey summoning Steve Earle, Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings as they penned this story.

Album review

“Helen Townsend took me on a beautiful journey through dark and light; night and day. It’s the kind of music that tells a story; that puts your imagination into overdrive. It’s the kind of music that sticks around in your mind, long after the CD ends. It’s a welcome feeling and one that I can’t believe that I ever shut my mind to.”

Independent Americana artist Helen Townsend is thrilled to announce the release of her long-awaited debut album Little Lover, available from 23rd August 2019.

Little Lover is a departure from her multi-award nominated 2014 EP “Wayward Heart” to an edgier, rockier and more diverse sound for the singer songwriter. The album features twelve of her original compositions, including promised land co-written with Bill Chambers which was nominated for WAM 2017 Song of the Year and nomination for WAM 2019 Country artist of the year.

Helen is a prolific songwriter, influenced heavily by her roots, her life’s journey and her unique observations on life. “Little Lover” showcases her song writing and storytelling prowess and is a perfect example of the Americana genre.

"Little Lover" was nominated for multiple WA Country Music Awards (2020) and won Single of the Year and Emerging Artist of the year.
