Helen Ludé spent her childhood at bluegrass festivals with her family, participating in Kids on Bluegrass with Frank Solivan Sr. and later playing fiddle and mandolin in California youth band, 35 Years of Trouble. Helen graduated from Tulane University of New Orleans, LA in December 2023 with a dual degree in Management, Marketing, and Philosophy. She currently lives in Nashville, TN when she is not on the road with AJ Lee & Blue Summit as their tour manager. She enjoys nature, yoga, and travel.

Wisteria vine grows on Helen’s childhood home in San Francisco, CA, and is native to regions in China where she was adopted from. In China, wisteria represents abundance, mystery, and beauty. Wisteria vine is also found extensively in Southern U.S.A regions including Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia.
