"...What a great line-up, such top musicians!" ~ George P. M.

About.

Kurt and Helen Band is an American Country Rock Band from Redding, CT and is one of Fairfield County's most loved. Always a crowd favorite they incorporate various musical styles of rock, folk, country, and blues in their purest forms.

 

Professionally trained Kurt Cihi & Helen are the lead vocalists who drive the sound with their dynamic and fun energy. Their musical style relies heavily on their two- and three-part harmonies, powerful compositions and original songwriting.

This powerful sound seals the deal, and every show is a great, and lively musical experience... however they present: as a full band, or a trio. This couple and their crew have been solidly pleasing audiences in venues both large and cozy.

 

"We love nothing better than to get our fans out on the dance floor - having a good time enjoying live music!" 

Country rock and blues covers, original tunes, and harmonic compositions lead the band at the front edge. Recognized as one of the leading American country rock bands in the Fairfield County music scene, these talented vocalists are backed by an all-star band, and feature many first-class guest performers.
