Description
Heather Pierson is a pianist, singer/songwriter, songleader, and performer
whose inspiring live performances and growing catalog of releases delve into
Americana, blues, New Orleans jazz, vocal chants, instrumental piano, and folk.
Best known for her ease at the piano and her bell-tone vocals, her songs and
musicianship embody joy, honesty, playfulness, and a desire to share from the
heart. In over twenty years on her own record label, Vessel Recordings, she has
released fourteen albums and several singles of original music. Defying genre
and classification and yet fully embracing all musical styles, Heather is an artist
who speaks the language of music in as many dialects as her abilities will allow.
Her life’s work, she says, is to share her love of music and her gratitude for life
with others – one song, one heart, and one mind at a time.
Here is a video of Heather performing her song Lines and Spaces.
Rachel Marie follows in a tradition of unapologetically forthright women folksingers, with songs that hearken to “overstuffed lines of Tori Amos, philosophical turn of Indigo Girls, and lilting vocals like Joni Mitchell.” The social awareness of folk meets the introspection of the singer-songwriter tradition with a moderate dose of snark. An endearingly quirky stage presence as honest as her songs keeps audiences charmed.
