Heather Pierson Acoustic Trio June 2nd at The Ripton Community Coffee House!
Featuring Shawn Nadeau on upright bass and Davy Sturtevant on, as Heather often puts it from stage, "everything else" - guitar, mandolin, dobro, fiddle, cornet and Heather Pierson on piano, banjo and guitar.
These three veteran musicians have catapulted Heather's live performances of her deep well of Americana originals - folk, jazz, blues - with intricate instrumental arrangements and stirring three-part vocal harmonies. Throughout Heather's colorful career, her eclectic skill set has continued to propel her onto concert hall stages and into barrooms, coffeehouses, resort hotels, living rooms and churches. With over 200 shows a year in venues all over the United States, her nearly non-stop performance schedule speaks of her tireless work ethic and endless devotion to her craft. 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 of life with others – one song, one heart, one mind at a time.
"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."~DC Bloom | Lone Star Music Magazine
Heather is a real triple threat, with great vocals, outstanding instrumental prowess, and stellar songwriting."
Don Baker | Mountain Spirit Coffeehouse | Asheville, NC
"Heather's Trio gave one of the most entertaining, artistic, and engaging performances we've hosted in our 46 years! Their consummate musicianship, gorgeous vocal harmonies, and excellent songwriting held me and our full-house audience spellbound. Individually, the three of them are terrific. As a trio they are astounding... The walls of our little venue hold many wonderful sounds and memories. We've just added some of the best." ~Dave Humphreys | Two Way Street Coffeehouse | Downers Grove, IL
