Heidi Burson’s story as an artist is one of shared human experience. Very early on, she felt the poignancy of the music of singers such as Etta James and Aretha Franklin. She was struck by the power and intensity with which they expressed the longing, which we all share, for love and acceptance. These influences, coupled with her own life experiences and a generous dusting of wry humor, have helped to forge a voice and style that is uniquely fascinating. When Heidi sings, people listen. They do so because her delivery is captivating. They do so because she speaks to their own inner feelings. Heidi is a soul singer.
Heidi is an award winning artist and songwriter, and to date has released 2 self-produced full length albums, Every Shade of Blue in 2012 and The Story in 2017. Her music is spinning on AcmeRadioLive and Lightning 100 in Nashville and her single, "Give Your Love Away" has been played on BBC Radio. She has recently received song placements on featured UK playlists for various businesses. She has toured across the US, UK and Europe, and was featured at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland. Her touring has seen her perform in various festivals, concert series and notable venues such as the Bluebird Café, the 100 Club in London, BB King's and the Ruine Senftenburg Castle in Austria.
Heidi Burson brings something very different (and special!) to the Common House Concert series stage… soul. Her music is a marked departure from our usual "folk-y focus" that we think you'll find uniquely refreshing.
