trees’, Heather’s live performances with her bassist/partner Shawn Nadeau take

musicianship, speaking the language of music with ease and wit.

“Heather is like two great acts in one, sliding from sweet acoustic Appalachian old-timey vibe with Patty Griffinesque lyrics to brassy New Orleans blues piano with a bone thrown to Bessie Smith.”

“There’s a real pureness to her voice as she leads us through intimate corners of her experiences and tells stories with a Joni Mitchell kind of edge… Her hands float on and above the piano keys with the ease of a longtime player; it’s as if it’s as second nature as breathing.”
