Heather Christie Pierson (born in Joplin, Missouri in the 1970s) is a composer, songwriter, pianist, instrumentalist and vocalist. She is the owner of record label Vessel Recordings (), which has released eight of Pierson's CDs to date. == Early years == After moving with her parents at age 5, Pierson grew up in Hebron, Maine, and began her piano studies at age 6 with Helen Davidson. At age 12, she began playing acoustic guitar, under her father's direction. At age 14, Pierson began playing bass guitar, and at this time formed a rock band called Garajh Mahal; a few months after their formation, Pierson began to play keyboards in the group. This group gained some local notoriety for their unusual and intricate arrangements, and released two cassettes of their original material: ''Isn't the Same'' and ''Newton's Wrench'' under their own label, Geodesic Publishing. At age 16, Pierson was asked to join country-rock group North Atlantic Band as a keyboardist and vocalist, and began touring the bottle club circuit of northern New England. In 1994, North Atlantic Band won the Downeast Country Music Association's award for "Best Modern Country" group; that same year, Pierson won the award for "Instrumentalist of the Year" for her rendition of Floyd Cramer's ''Last Date''. During the mid-90s, Pierson was also a member of a cappella women's trio Lightsisters. After North Atlantic Band disbanded in 1996, Pierson played in a trio called Soup Sandwich, performing folk rock, country and blues throughout northern New England. In 1999, Pierson joined world-music ensemble Shambhala, incorporating her talents with keyboard, vocals, world percussion, Native American flute and acoustic guitar. In this same year, Pierson began working with singer/songwriter Kristen Short. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Heather Pierson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
