Event

Heather Styka

This was originally intended to be a Michael P Smith concert. Unfortunately, Michael passed away last summer.

The new artist is Heather Styka.

Heather Styka dances where others fear to tread, gleefully cutting to the truth with gutsy vulnerability. She combines the lyrical intricacy of folk with a catchy melodic pop sensibility and the grit of classic country in songs that are smart and disarming. Call it folk, call it Americana, call it alt-country, but Stykas heartfelt croon draws as much inspiration from classic warblers such as Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald as it does from Shawn Colvin and Eva Cassidy. Heather cuts to the truth with gutsy vulnerability. With a heartfelt croon that brings to mind Billie Holiday and Patsy Cline, Styka combines the liquid intensity of folk with a catchy melodic pop sensibility and the grit of classic country in songs that are smart and disarming.
