Helt Oncale is returning to the Old Theater stage following a memorable performance last year. Helt is a charismatic singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist known for playing many different styles from earthy rhythm ‘n’ blues to Louisiana Cajun, from swing rock ‘n’ roll to original American country and bluegrass. In a soft, sensitive voice he tells his stories from his homeland, describes the pulsating life of New Orleans, sings of the ancients out in the swamps and bayous, and relays the hopes, longings, joys and sorrows, always of the “boundless Spirit of Louisiana.” He accompanies himself on various instruments in playful alternation of guitar, fiddle, mandolin, and banjo. Whether he's playing one of his own cheerful fiddle tunes, a stomping blues, or an old Cajun tune, whenever you close your eyes, you feel the heartbeat of Louisiana and an inimitable feeling of “Laisser les bon temps rouler” – Let the good times roll! Helt began his career at the age of 19 performing in the clubs and bars of Bourbon Street and learning from the best in the French Quarter. After touring throughout the United States, he settled in Germany where he has won awards of acclaim and now makes his home. […]
