Other people say this:
"In one of her original pieces, “I’ll Fall Away,” she sings, “You can take it or leave it.” The feel of that song might be longing, but Ms. Christian’s delivery has the well-earned confidence of a woman who expects her audience to take it."--- NY TIMES
"Singer-songwriter Heather Christian has a haunting way with lyrics, an unforgettable voice that somehow bridges Carol Channing and Joanna Newsom, and a wise-waif presence that intrigues...an ambitious performer."--TIME OUT NY
"Christian howls like a werewolf with a voice made of molasses"--
VARIETY MAGAZINE
"....a surprisingly moving event. At the center of it all is the angelic Christian, who delivers a mesmerizing performance that is both intimate and powerful."-- BACKSTAGE MAGAZINE
"Christian's voice is like a crazed rubber band — its capacity to bend, stretch, and snap is consistently surprising. Her five-piece band is reassuringly confident, performing Christian's strange and special new-music compositions with the stage chops of a seasoned rock band." - FLAVORPILL.COM
"lemme tell ya, that Heather Christian is something else. And I mean that in a good way. Every once in a while you see someone perform and you’re like, “Yep. This one’s gonna take off.” She’s one of them." WWW.CULTUREBOT.COM

Heather Christian is a native Mississippian. The daughter of a blues musician and a go-go dancer, she pulls primarily from Classial form and good old fashioned feeling something. She sometimes sings at church, she sometimes sings in kitchens, she sometimes sings in dark cornered establishments. She likes diving bells and red bellied swallows and fancy things. She thinks music is primary and necessary and sends her undying love to those who stop to listen.
