Hawaii resident Johnny Helm follows up his most successful album to date with Divide, an eclectic

Divide is an intensely personal album for the singer/songwriter/guitarist who currently resides in Hawaii.
Helm melds modern folk rock with jam band sensibility. His first full-length album, At Random, earned critical
acclaim after its release in 2003. That year it was nominated for Rock Album of the Year in Hawaii's
prestigious Na Hoku Hanohano Awards.

He's played everywhere from open-mic venues to nightclubs to art museums.
Helm, ten year Hawaii resident moved to New York City, where he landed a steady gig with veteran
singer/guitarist Bud Cerio at the famed The Bitter End, the city's oldest rock club. He began recording tracks
for Divide in Greenwich, Conn., with longtime pal and pianist Patrick Sweeney.

In 2005 Helm returned to the Islands - and his loyal fan base - where he gigs weekly at various venues
including, Diamond Head Cove Bar, Tiki's Gril & Bar, Anna Bannana's Bar, Rred Elephant, and Coffee Talk.
Divide went through many changes before completion. The album is a collection of recordings from 1996-2006.

one of Helm's major influences.
