Heather Newman Band

Heather has had deep set roots in the blues world for the last 16 years, picking up the bass at at the end of 2016. She released her first album in 2017 "Burn Me Alive" which won two 2018 Blues Blast Music Awards and nominated for a 2019 Blues Music Award. Shortly after the release, the band began writing a second album and after the amazing response that her 2019 album "Rise From the Flames" received for their journey into the world of folk/R&B, Heather has decided to remove barriers and break out of the box to expand her sound, technique and style to represent her current evolution of being.

Her bandmate Ryan Matthew is just as excited to delve into a new wave of creativity to bring a wide variety of well crafted material with a feeling similar to artists such as Lake Street Dive, the Black Pumas, Allen Stone, Alabama Shakes, Vulfpeck, and The Dip, though with their own spin on those styles. This duo has played together since July of 2017 and has found an amazing rhythm between them that gives each performance a unique life and a magical experience for the audience.
