Heather Pierson

Heather Pierson is a New Hampshire based singer/songwriter, pianist, song leader, and performer with a passion for cultivating joy, both onstage and off. Her sixteenth studio album, 'Back To The Light', is her most vibrant release yet. Released in September 2024, 'Back To The light' was recorded ‘live on the floor’ at Acadia Recording Company in Portland, ME with her trio mates Shawn Nadeau on bass and Craig Bryan on drums and percussion. This new collection of Heather's originals pulsates throughout with the grooves of New Orleans, the beauty of Appalachia, and Sunday-go-to-meeting celebration. In over twenty years on her own record label, Vessel Recordings, Heather has released sixteen albums and several singles of original music, reflecting her boundless creativity. Other iterations of Heather include Heart Songs & Circle Songs, a community singing project with co-creator Bernice Martin; Peaceful Means, a new duo with Leah Boyd; and her jam-band jazz-rock quartet The Potboilers. 'Everybody's tryin' to be free of the ghosts that haunt them at night,' she sings in the title track for 'Back To The Light'—and what better way to nourish and embolden oneself in the darkness than with the medicine of song?
