The Heather Anne Band

The Heather Anne Band

Heather is a member of the acclaimed Juno Award winning Canadian band The Wailin' Jennys, and has performed at hundreds of venues across the country including appearances on Garrison Keillor's A Prairie Home Companion. She has performed with the renowned contemporary bluegrass band "The Wayfaring Strangers," and with the Boston-based string band "Joy Kills Sorrow as well as her own Brooklyn-based outfit Heather and the Barbarians. Heather's rich, soulful, voice elegantly moves through numerous styles organically and with sincerity, a quality learned from some of her early influences including Ray Charles, Bonnie Raitt, Joni Mitchell, and Chet Baker.

A melange of soulful, thoughtful songs, Heather's newest project, The Heather Anne Band, crosses the borders between country, jazz, blues, and folk. With Heather Masse's expressive voice, and Jed Wilson's extraordinary piano playing at its core, the band creates an expansive, timeless sound that engages and inspires. The Heather Anne Band plans to record a full-length album of Heathers original songs and music this winter.

"What a voice! Every once in a while I happen on a voice so pure, with such great texture, intonation, time and phrasing that it stops me in my tracks. Heather Masse has all that and more."
- John Ziegler, KUMD

"Heather Masse has a stunningly beautiful voice and impeccable musicianship. You don't want to miss a chance to hear this singer."
- Jazz musician Dominique Eade
