Helen O'Shea

With the heart of a healer and the grace of grit, Ireland-born, New Jersey-based Americana artist Helen O'Shea is trailblazing a path of hope and possibility, sharing her unguarded story so that others may step fully into their power. Helen’s journey from medicine to motherhood to music embodies resilience, reinvention, and the power of learning to heal. Blending Americana and Celtic influences into her signature sound, which she calls AmeriCeltiCana, her music and message resonate deeply with women and mothers rediscovering themselves later in life. Helen is set to release a series of singles leading up to her third full-length album,Songs in the Key of O, a dedication to Sinead O’Connor & Dolores O'Riordan, produced and co-written by two-time Grammy winner Marc Swersky. Recorded at Dug Deep Production in Asbury Park, the album features collaborations with The Carlile Family Band, Michelle Moore from the legendary E Street Band, Liam Ó Maonlaí from Hothouse Flowers, Barry Murphy from Hermitage Green, and singer-songwriters James Maddock and Brad Butcher. Through Helen’s metamorphosis, she holds fiercely to her personal mantra, Turning Tides Make Sturdy Souls, reflecting her belief that life’s challenges, both joyful and painful, are what shape us. Embracing transformation takes courage, and through her music, Helen extends a hand, reminding us that we don’t have to take the first step alone.
