Heather Woods Broderick is an American musician and composer who has been touring member of Efterklang, Lisa Hannigan, Damien Jurado, and Horse Feathers to name a few, and has been a key collaborator and member of Sharon Van Etten’s band for nearly a decade. Invitation, her third solo LP was released in the spring of 2019.
Invitation was conceived on the Oregon coast, an outlier among American landscapes, where vast stretches of empty beach are decorated with silver driftwood and towering pines. It is here among the dunes, tide pools and colossal rock formations that Heather spent her childhood summer day-trips. And it is here that she returned as an adult to construct Invitation, an album of dreamy baroque-pop that swells and whispers with grand string arrangements, intimately descriptive lyrics, and impassioned songcraft built around earnest piano melodies, painting a lifelike picture of the locale in which it was written.
Heather’s concert takes place on Thursday 5 March.
Support comes from local singer-songwriter Bartleby Delicate, who released a new single “From Top To Toe” last week.
