Tonight expect to hear joy-infused jazz, folk and blues from pianist and singer/songwriter Heather Pierson. Her music pulsates with grooves of New Orleans, the beauty of Appalachia and Sunday-go-to-meeting celebration. “Heather is like two great acts in one, sliding from sweet acoustic Appalachian old-timey vide with Patty Griffinesque lyrics to brassy New Orleans blues piano with a bone thrown to Bessie Smith,” says Lone Star Music Magazine.
