biographical info
An incredibly versatile singer-songwriter with a soaring voice and song writing style that variously tips it's hat to the traditions of country, jazz, bluegrass, folk and blues influences, yet remains beyond the grip of genre. Indeed it has been said that the best music being made today has a hybrid quality. A collage of all that has come before with new life born into it's recombination. Not bound by trends, time, pretence or judgement, but a flow of history. Murder Ballads, roots rock, mournful songs of loss, up tempo swing numbers, R&B tinged country-soul all combine, heart-felt and direct, to take the listener on a journey exploring the emotional spectrum. In live performance Heather's lovely fluid voice captivates as her warm and highly engaging presence creates a special intimacy with the audience. Heather's song writing has received international accolades and has drawn comparisons to such luminaries as Lucinda Williams, Gram Parsons, Leon Russell, yet her style remains uniquely her own. She is supported in live performance by her band The Company of Men. A collective of talented seasoned musicians who lend their own unique and skilled musical voice to bring you music that is emotive AND entertaining!
