Heather
Stokes can be seen performing at numerous local Nashville venues
including Roberts, Second Fiddle, Jim & Layla’s Bluegrass
Inn, The Stage, Bull’s Eye Sports Bar, Wolfey’s, Tootsie’s,
The Homestead, Rippey’s , and others!
She has a
strong, clear voice that can sound playful and exuberant
covering the popular traditional and current country, blues,
and rock tunes, then turn around to sound longing and
vulnerable in original ballads that showcase the depth and
range of her voice. Her Delta upbringing has provided her
with the musical roots that allow her to be a versatile and
soulful performer.
Heather
began singing in church as a small child. She earned a
college scholarship with a touring show choir and landed her
first professional position working with an Entertainment
Company out of Dallas, TX. During the summers she
maintained a rigorous show schedule dancing and singing at
different Theme Parks. During her last summer she managed
the shows at Americana, in Ohio.
After graduating college
she moved to NW Arkansas to work with a musical variety
"duo". After about six months, a popular area band
“Midnight Rain” recruited her. As a powerful lead and
harmony singer, Heather helped this group develop into a
well sought after band for a tri-state area. They were a
regular attraction at the area’s big country and blues dance
venues and opened for numerous recording artists such as
Wade Hayes, Ty Herndon, Sons of the Desert, Chad Simmons,
and others.
A few years ago, Heather
packed up and moved to Nashville. She won numerous area
“new talent” contests at The Nashville Palace, The Broken
Spoke, and The Hall of Fame Lounge. Since this time she
worked with a local trio “SASS” at the Crossings, Spiffy's
and Tootsie's. Local songwriters, who are drawn to the
clarity and quality of her voice, recruit her to do demos
and host local area writer's nights. She has been performing
songs for numerous writers including current hit songwriters
Danny Wells, Troy Martin, Rick Tiger and others.
Heather has been focused on
finding the best songs and musicians to complement her
developing style and career. She has been described by
people in the industry as a powerful talent who is honest
and sincere. In her own words "I am grateful to be able to
continue to pursue what I love, and to do it in an area that
so rich in music culture, history, and talent." For more
