ABOUT THE HEATHER PIERSON DUO:
Website: heatherpierson.com
Videos:https://www.youtube.com/c/HeatherPiersonMusic
“Heather has one of those voices that sounds like timeless wind moving slowly through the trees.” Melissa Clarke | Americana Highways
“Her words fall like orbs in the sky, first teetering in the air before crashing into the atmosphere like a meteor. But that’s just her way. Pierson crafts her work with great attention to the emotional effects it has on the audience. Simply put: it’s mesmerizing.” – Bee Delores | B-Sides & Badlands
Heather Pierson is a New Hampshire based singer/songwriter, pianist, song leader, and performer with a passion for cultivating joy, both onstage and off. With a toe in each of the realms of New Orleans jazz, blues, vocal chants, instrumental piano, and folk, her multi-genre songwriting places her in a category all her own, one honed by decades of diligent practice and curious exploration. Whether solo, duo with her partner/bassist Shawn Nadeau, or trio with Craig Bryan on drums, Heather’s live performances feature her bell-tone vocals, ease at the piano, and are infused with happiness, honest self- reflection, and a genuine desire to connect and share from the heart. She is the co- creator of Heart Songs & Circle Songs, a community singing project with singer/ songwriter/song leader Bernice Martin, which has produced two albums and songbooks of original community singing repertoire now being taught by song leaders and choir directors around the world. In over twenty years on her own record label, Vessel Recordings, Heather has released fifteen albums and several singles of original music, reflecting her boundless creativity. Her life’s work is to share her love of the language of music and her gratitude for life with others—one song, one heart, and one moment at a time.
