About Me

Revelling in a stripped-back version of the beautiful, haunting music for which her former band, redbreast (www.myspace.com/redbreastmusic) was renowned, Helen Franzmann has been garnering a great response after just a brief time on the scene as one woman act McKisko. Recording is booked for November with Jamie Trevaskis at Junkship records and an album is planned for release in March 2008 on independent label El Nino El Nino. Helen also performs with Jacob S. Harris (www.myspace.com/jacobsharris) and occasionally moonlights on keyboard with Tom Cooney.
