The Heather Pierson Trio brings their holiday "A Charlie Brown Christmas" show to Cadenza. The late show begins at 7:00.
About this Event



Based in Conway, NH, The Heather Pierson Trio (Heather, piano and vocals, Shawn Nadeau, base & vocal harmonies, Craig Bryan, drums & vocal harmonies) performs a rich variety of Heather's originals, jazz, and blues standards, and unique re-workings of familiar American music.


In their annual December offering, the Trio shares their interpretation of Vince Guaraldi's iconic soundtrack of "A Charlie Brown Christmas" , additional Guaraldi compositions, and other holiday favorites. Heather, singer/songwriter/performer is known for her bell tone vocals and equal parts New Orleans-Oscar-Brubeck jazz piano leanings.


The musical score for "A Charlie Brown Christmas", composed by the late Vince Guaraldi and first broadcast in December of 1965, is just as poignant and touching as the story and includes the hugely popular hit "Linus and Lucy". His gentle jazz riffs established musical trademarks that, to this day, still prompt smiles of recognition. The Heather Pierson Trio performs the entirety of the Charlie Brown Christmas album as recorded by the Vince Guaraldi Trio, as well as other Guaraldi compositions.

PRESS QUOTES:


"Heather is like two great acts in one, sliding from sweet acoustic Appalachian old-timey vibe with Patty Griffinesque lyrics to brassy New Orleans blues piano with a bone thrown to Bessie Smith."

DC Bloom | Lone Star Music Magazine


“There's a real pureness to her voice as she leads us through intimate corners of her experiences and tells stories with a Joni Mitchell kind of edge… Her hands float on and above the piano keys with the ease of a longtime player; it's as if it's as second nature as breathing.”

Aimsel Ponti | Portland Press Herald


VENUE QUOTE:


"Heather Pierson is Cadenza's favorite pianist! Our piano loves Heather Pierson and our audiences rave about Heather Pierson! It's always a special event when Heather performs at Cadenza." Alan Mooney | Cadenza Proprietor
