Événement

An evening with the Heather Pierson Acoustic Trio

The Heather Pierson Acoustic Trio will perform at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Erie on Sunday, November 3 at 7:00 p.m.

Hailing from New Hampshires Mount Washington Valley, the Heather Pierson Acoustic Trio are three musicians from three very different backgrounds, bringing their skills, quiet charm, and down-to-earth honesty to bear on songs that bring to life the sounds of the streets of New Orleans and the valleys of Appalachia and everywhere in between. Their recordings (2015s Still She Will Fly and 2017s Singin) and live performances feature Heathers multi-genre songwriting, their instrumental virtuosity, and stirring three-part vocal harmonies. Heathers twelfth CD, Lines and Spaces, will be released November 1, 2019.

Heather Pierson (lead vocals, acoustic guitar, tenor banjo, piano) is an award-winning singer/songwriter, pianist, and performer. From New Orleans traditional jazz to blues to rousing Americana and poignant folk, Heathers songs and musicianship embody joy, honesty, and a desire to share from the heart.

Davy Sturtevant (cornet, dobro, fiddle, mandolin, harmony vocals) is an Erie native, a sideman extraordinaire, and an accomplished singer/songwriter of his own, wielding both an arsenal of stringed and brass instruments and a gorgeous tenor voice. With wit and flair, Davy performs in a way that moves listeners to tap their toes, nod their heads, and raise knowing eyebrows.

Shawn Nadeau (bass, harmony vocals) is a self-taught phenom who brings an unassuming rock-solid foundation and a keen awareness to every moment of every song, informed by over two decades of wildly varying musical performances, from punk rock to reggae to jazz.

The church is located at 7180 Perry Highway in Erie. Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door and are available at www.heatherpierson.com.
