Sally Childs-Helton

Also Appearing

Drummer for Wild Mercy, rhythm geek, general musical instigator/rabble rouser.


Sally Childs-Helton is the percussionist with eclectic Celtic and fannish band Wild Mercy, and with the Thin Air improvising ensemble. Also an ethnomusicologist and music educator, Sally holds her B.M.E., M.A., and Ph.D., is a certified Music for People improvisation teacher, and facilitates two annual women's drumming events (www.womendrum.org). Dr. Childs-Helton teaches ethnomusicology at the university level; conducts drumming and improvisation workshops around the country; and accompanies and creates original scores for dance, theater, and choruses. She believes almost anything can (and should) be a percussion instrument. Sally and husband Barry have been playing music in fandom since 1985 and were inducted into the Filk Hall of Fame in 2003. Her "day gig" is as a not-so-mild-mannered university archivist and professor of music and anthropology. A voracious reader, Sally's current favorite authors are William Gibson, Neal Stephenson, Neil Gaiman, Kim Stanley Robinson, Connie Willis, and Tom Robbins. Her latest addiction is making books by hand and other paper arts. She and Barry live in Indianapolis with canine housemates Nina and Piper. Sally is also taller than most people think she is.
