Helene | Americana Folk Song About Hurricane Helene

My Stories Helene is an original Americana folk song about Hurricane Helene and what it did to Western North Carolina and the people who call these mountains home. I wrote it from the perspective of living here in WNC — a story about loss, resilience, neighbors helping neighbors, and communities across Appalachia changed by the storm.
