Heather Nova

Heather Nova first hit the airwaves in 1994 when her breakout album, Oyster, was released. The cool, infectious songs of Oyster put her firmly on the indie-pop map, and charted worldwide, and she has been making critically acclaimed albums and touring ever since.

But what really garnered Heather a loyal following has been her live performances; known for a voice that is both incredibly powerful but is also often described as angelic, she plays major rock festivals with full band as impressively as she captivates audiences in intimate theatres with just a cellist as accompaniment. She has toured consistently in the 30-plus years since starting out, and her shows continue to sell out quickly.

Live music transcends the sum of its parts, she says. There is a magic that happens that I am not fully in control of; I just let go, open up, and allow the music to come through me. The audience brings their emotions and their energy, and the synergy is born.
