At the seat of a piano or brandishing an acoustic guitar, tenor banjo, or melodica, Heather Pierson transforms from a quiet, serious figure into a world-class performer, baring her soul in a manner that leaves her listeners hungering for more. Her live performances move seamlessly from New Orleans jazz and blues to rousing Americana and poignant, original ballads. She's accompanied by Shawn Nadeau on upright bass and Davy Sturtevant on guitar, mandolin, dobro, fiddle and cornet, giving this ensemble a dynamic range that is truly impressive. From their home in the Colorado Rockies, The Railsplitters roll into town with a charming range of bluegrass and beyond-bluegrass music. Bringing real depth and formidable talent to the stage, this group draws from the well of Bill Monroe and Earl Scruggs and pushes the boundaries like contemporary bluegrassers Uncle Earl and Crooked Still. Rapid tempos, unusual instrumentals, and good-time breakdowns with enchanting harmonies, this fun, five-piece band-on-the-rise is one fine catch!
