Helena Espvall is a cellist and multi-instrumentalist recognized for her versatile contributions to the realms of folk, psychedelic, and experimental music. A sonic journeywoman whose musical roots stretch from her native Sweden across various cultures and genres, Espvall is perhaps best known for being a former member of the psychedelic folk band Espers. Her technical proficiency on the cello is complemented by her skilled performances on guitar and her haunting vocal delivery, creating a distinctive sound that resonates with an eclectic audience.
