Heather

"Whenever life gets you down, it's important to remember to face the darkness -- instead of trying to run away from it. Because you can never really run away from it. It'll only get worse. Turn around and face it head-on."

Heather is a musician who sings old country and blues cover songs. "Someone once said I sound like Joni Mitchell. That's a pretty big compliment. I started playing guitar because I wanted to jam with my friends around campfires, but now it's taken on a life of its own."

Her first solo show is happening tonight at Cafe Embargo in Parkdale.
