Country and Americana troubadour Mike Hellman performs live at the Holiday Inn as part of the South West Folk Alliance Conference 2026.
Mike Hellman plays the Holiday Inn on Thursday, September 24, starting at 7 PM. He's a country and Americana troubadour who splits his time between Houston and Santa Cruz, and this stop is part of the South West Folk Alliance Conference (SWRFA) 2026.
If you're not familiar with him, he's a songwriter who leans into the storytelling side of the genre. He describes himself as having a bent for the unconventional and a mission to tell his truth, which is a good way to frame what he does: these are songs written from a personal place, and he's the one singing them. The Americana label fits well enough, but the troubadour part is the real lead here. He's a singer-songwriter in the most direct sense, and that's what you'll get on stage.
Because this is part of SWRFA, it's one of many performances happening across the city during the conference. The conference brings together folk and roots musicians from across the region, and Hellman is one of the artists on the bill this year. If you're around for the rest of the event, this is one of the sets to catch.
