"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."

​

Heather Pierson is a 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, and folk, her multi-genre songwriting places her in a category all her own, one honed by decades of diligent practice and curious exploration.  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. Heather and partner Shawn Nadeau on bass and harmony vocals, tour the US with their well-crafted lively performances.  The trio’s latest studio recording, Back To The Light,  released September, 2024.

 

Heather is silky with her bluesy rhythms (“Dusty House Blues”) & I say that because she glides effortlessly into a Joni Mitchell jazz style (“Up Here In the Mountains”) far & away from the anatomy of the 40s musicality. Heather & Madeleine Peyroux share a smoothness that’s expressive & impulsive. But while Heather’s songs on first listen have their attraction, her voice is what’s captivating.-
