Helen Money is Alison Chesley, a Chicago based cellist who has become known for her unique sound and compelling stage performance. Using the tools of a lead guitarist, she channels her sensibilities and experience as a rock musician through a classical instrument. A founding member of Epic Records recording artist Verbow, Alison has opened for bands as diverse as Shellac, Earth, The Bad Plus, Hunn Huur Tu and KTL. She has also worked and recorded with musicians such as Bob Mould, Disturbed, Anthrax, Frank Orrall, Fred Lonberg-Holm and Mono, among others. In addition to her solo work, Chesley has composed music for film and dance, including the soundtrack to the award-winning documentary “Indestructible” and two major works for Chicago based Mordine and Company Dance Theater, “Quest” and “Time Stilled”. Her second album, recorded with Greg Norman at Electrical Audio and mixed by Sanford Parker at Semaphore Studios will be released on Table of the Elements this fall.

I'll be at that May 11th show. That's the same week I'm seeing 4 grindcore shows and 1 black metal show. Ridiculous. Ask Kenny to turn the knobs extra loud. :P
