Roger Helfrick is a singer and harpist from Edmonton, Alberta.
“His voice would charm a lark right out of the sky.”
Sean Buckley, Celtic Folk Club, Calgary
Roger Helfrick is a true musical alchemist. He uses the base elements of classical precision and playful improvisation, and fuses them onto folk traditions to craft musical magic. Intertwining his beautiful voice with harp, guitar, or plucked psaltery, he transmutes both music gleaned from the last 800 years of northern and western Europe, as well as his own nature inspired compositions. He has released 4 CDs, receiving national and international radio play, has been a featured performer with many ensembles including the Vancouver based Winter Harp Ensemble, and performs regularly in concert.
“In all my years as a musician I have only heard a few such gorgeous voices. Roger’s singing is like velvet. His voice has this clear, transparent, warm, completely natural sound that truly makes you want to melt away. And he tells the song’s story so simply and beautifully.”
Lori Pappajohn, harpist, singer, director of Winter Harp
