Heather Ré

a big city voice with small town dreams

Heather has toured all over the country performing solo, and with distinguished artists including; Michael Doucet avec BeauSoleil, Rich DelGrosso, David Bromberg and Richard Thompson.  With roots in Louisiana and Texas, Heather taps into a blend of blues, country and folk while crafting her songs to showcase her deeply personal lyrics and the strength of her expressive vocals.

 

Heather began singing professionally at 17 with the rock band Filter, from Denver, CO. A few years later, she sang jazz with the John Pike Trio making Julie London's "Cry Me A River", and Edye Gormé's "I Wanna Be Around" her signature songs.  In 2010, she turned to songwriting and studied guitar under Mike Riddle (City Kids/Prodigal Child) in Brooklyn.  She performed at street festivals and venues in NYC and across the U.S, while honing her unique style.  Heather attended Augusta Heritage Blues Week and studied guitar from Elijah Wald, Joan Fenton, and John Del Toro Richardson, and vocals from Gaye Adegbalola, showcasing her vocal strength on Katie Webster's "Pussycat Moan" with Arthur Migliazza.  Digging further into her roots, she began learning fiddle and attended Dewey Balfa Cajun and Creole Heritage Week in Louisiana, studying under Al Berard, Mitch Reed, and Ed Poulard. Heather left New York, moving to Jamaica Plain, MA, and performed regularly with Isaac Maupin and the Tom Towler Band.  She recorded her first EP Darlin' Stay (2015) with Michael Doucet guesting on tracks and they sang their signature harmonies on "Dans Le Grand Brouillard".  In 2015, Heather married Michael, moving to Lafayette, LA and learned Cajun fiddle and guitar from the icon while touring and singing with his band BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet. Highlights included; performing at New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, opening for Richard Thompson at the Manship (Baton Rouge) singing "Dimming of the Day" with the revered songwriter, and sharing the stage with David Bromberg performing her original song "I Still Do".  The Doucets performed as a duet at Pensacola Singer/Songwriter Festival in 2016 & 2017, showcased their harmonies on Michael's song "Dis-moi Pas" (eTown), and collaborated on Psycho Swamp. As the partnership was ending, Heather recorded her 2nd album, "This Road We're On" at Lullaby Sound Design studio in Lafayette, with Mitch Reed, Danny Devillier, and Jason Harrington (2018).

Going solo, Heather continued to study Cajun fiddle tunes from Mitch Reed (BeauSoleil), and Texas Old Time Style from Dale Morris (National Fiddler Hall of Fame Inductee, 2020). She moved to The Shoals, making Florence, AL her home in 2019.

During the pandemic, she saw the opportunity to take to the road full-time in her RV, and continues to travel all over the US with her rescue pup, Dotty.  The following years of wanderlust and personal discovery allowed Heather to focus on fine-tuning her craft of songwriting and performing.  She recently recorded 13 tracks for her 3rd album, "Writing Fiction", which will debut in 2023. The album is a beautiful collection of Southern-infused songs that truly capture the strength of her vocals, her songwriting style, and her coming home within herself.
