On The Tracks is Online!

Yes friends, we are carrying on in these wild times of physical isolation. We were sad to have cancelled a few shows early on but happy to report that we’re moving ahead with virtual concerts via Zoom featuring many of the artists who were scheduled to appear in person.

2020-2021 Season!

We are taking this virtual season one show at a time.

LET US KNOW YOU'RE COMING!

Proudly presenting Heather Pierson Due

Wednesday, April 7, 2021 – 7pm EDT

Heather Pierson is an award-winning pianist, singer/songwriter, songleader and performer whose inspiring live performances and growing catalog of releases, both solo and in ensemble, delve into Americana, blues, New Orleans jazz, vocal chants, instrumental piano, and folk. Best known for her ease at the piano and her bell-tone vocals, Heather’s songs and musicianship embody joy, honesty, playfulness, and a desire to share from the heart. Heather’s twelfth album, Lines and Spaces, was released on November 15, 2019, and is a multi-genre tour de force featuring performances from her Acoustic Trio bandmates Davy Sturtevant and Shawn Nadeau. In 2018, she and fellow singer/songwriter Bernice Martin launched their community singing project, Heart Songs & Circle Songs, and a second volume of their popular songbook was released in February 2021.

During the 2020 pandemic, Heather had a viral hit in March with her Toilet Paper Song, and released both a moving single, Beside The Firelight, about the death of George Floyd, and her latest collection of original meditation chants, Be Here Now. Since March 2020, Heather has been live-streaming every week both solo and with partner Shawn Nadeau on bass, leading online community sings, and launched both her Etsy shop for her original artwork and her Patreon for her new songs and poetry.

About Us

An unquenchable thirst for great songwriting combined with a love for the vessels who bring them to life – the songwriters – is the driving force behind ON THE TRACKS Songwriter Showcase. It was founded to bring our favorite writers to our neck of the woods by providing a venue to showcase their incredible gifts.

What makes this series unique is our focus on the songwriting. Our featured performers will be sharing insight into their inspirations and methods, the practical and magical process by which their songs come to life. You’ll hear lots of great songs of course, but you’ll also learn a little something about the art and craft of songwriting.
