Music as Spirit & Lifeblood - Heather Pierson

Heather Pierson

Heather Pierson fell in love with music & the piano at a tender age, growing into singing in choirs & playing the guitar along the way. Music of all sorts of genres are her spirit & lifeblood. She was a part of Garajh Mahal, doing progressive rock, then with the country-leaning North Atlantic Band. Heather was one-third of an A Cappella trio, Lightsisters, and does moving work with Bernice Martin. She performs Americana, blues, New Orleans jazz, vocal chants, instrumental piano, & folk, and she does them solo, in duos/trios/quartets, including the Heather Pierson Acoustic Trio (with Shawn Nadeau, Davy Sturtevant). For some humor, check out the video of The Toilet Paper Song.

Thank you Mark, so much, for the invitation to be a part of your series, and for such an engaging and enjoyable conversation!  I appreciate your support and enthusiasm for all of us 'soul singers', and I look forward to staying in touch with you.  And I hope you can figure out a way to dance to 'Gumbo'!  😆
