Faerie Music: Frenchy and the Punk

Samantha Stephenson, the percussionist and singer of the duo, has a voice that has been described as a cross between Edith Piaf and Siouxie Sioux. She studied art at The National Academy of Design and Art Students League in New York City. Her dance training began at the Royal School of Dance in England. She has been a member of dance troupes in Boston and New York.

Scott Helland first gained notice performing with punk rock bands in Western Massachusetts including the legendary band Deep Wounds. He has appeared on over 25 CDs, including five solo CDs listed below.

As the Gypsy Nomads, Samantha and Scott toured all over North America since 2005. They appeared at many festivals with fantasical and mystickal characters including stilt walkers, fire throwers and jugglers. They also performed at steampunk, science fiction and cabaret conventions.

Their first tour as Frenchy and the Punk in April 2011 includes several steampunk venues in France, Germany and the UK, the Magical Faerie Festival in Canterbury and the May 1 Beltane Festival in Glastonbury.
