ABOUT
Raised in the Blue Ridge of Virginia, Heather Lynn keeps the sounds and traditions of Appalachia close to her heart. Born into a musical family, her earliest memories are of singing in the church choir alongside her family. Heather’s music reflects her love of folk artists like Etta Baker and Jean Ritchie, weaving fingerstyle guitar with free flowing melodies and lyrics.
Music took her to study at New England Conservatory in Boston, where she spent five years exploring and expanding her personal style. During her time in Boston, Heather performed her original music throughout the city at venues such as Jordan Hall, Club Passim, the Museum of Fine Arts, and Atwood’s Tavern. She’s worked with artists across many genres, including Dominique Eade, Jason Moran, Carla Kihlstedt, and Larry Unger. Most recently, her love of the outdoors has brought her to Portland, Maine where she continues to teach, perform, and write music. Fond of agriculture, Heather currently helps manage a greenhouse at an organic farm that serves the Maine community. Heather released her debute EP entitled "Narrows" Decemeber 2023. You can stream it now on all platforms!
