The Heather Pierson Acoustic Trio will perform at at 8 p.m. Saturday, March 12, at Bangor Arts Exchange, 193 Exchange St. in Bangor.
Hailing from New Hampshire’s Mount Washington Valley, the Heather Pierson Acoustic Trio are three musicians from three generations bringing their skills, quiet charm, and down-to-earth honesty to bear on songs that bring to life the sounds of the streets of New Orleans and the valleys of Appalachia and everywhere in between.
Their recordings “Still She Will Fly” (2015) and “Singin’” (2017) and their live performances feature Pierson’s multi-genre songwriting, instrumental virtuosity, and stirring three-part vocal harmonies. Her 12th CD, “Lines and Spaces,” was released on Nov. 15, 2019 and prominently features her Acoustic Trio cohorts and many fan favorites.
Pierson (lead vocals, acoustic guitar, tenor banjo, piano) is an award-winning singer/songwriter, pianist, and performer. From New Orleans traditional jazz to blues to rousing Americana and poignant folk, Heather’s songs and musicianship embody joy, honesty, and a desire to share from the heart.
Davy Sturtevant (cornet, dobro, fiddle, mandolin, harmony vocals) is a sideman extraordinaire and an accomplished singer/songwriter, wielding both an arsenal of stringed and brass instruments and a gorgeous tenor voice. With wit and flair, he performs in a way that moves listeners to tap their toes, nod their heads, and raise knowing eyebrows.
Shawn Nadeau (bass, harmony vocals) brings an unassuming rock-solid foundation and a self-taught keen awareness to every moment of every song, informed by over two decades of wildly varying musical performances, from punk rock to reggae to jazz.
