Hélène Renaut

Raised on the green and rocky coast of Brittany, France, Hélène Renaut now claims another coast, that of San Francisco, home. Live and on records, Hélène's music oscillates between gentle folk, British-influenced pop, and compositions that come closer to a song-poem. Listen and you will be met by a unique harmonic flair, poetic lyrics, and melodies that have been compared to "a paintbrush on figure skates" for their beautiful shapes - all delivered in an accomplished, yet heartrending French accented voice.
