Anne Heaton

Anne Heaton’s deeply personal lyrics balance the conflict between heart and mind to arrive at an emotional center that will touch every listener. Her melodies are complemented with uncluttered arrangements full of subtle counter rhythms and rich harmonies that give every tune its own unique soul.

She’s a student of classical piano, Philosophy & Theology, Dexy’s Midnight Runners and the Rolling Stones.  She’s toured as a singer for jazz legend Max Roach and sung as a member of a gospel choir in Harlem. She and her longtime musical partner Frank Marotta, Jr. have criss-crossed the country supporting folks like Jewel, Dan Bern, Melissa Ferrick & Jonatha Brooke with  an energetic show combining compelling lead vocals, brash humor and understated keyboard style with aggressive acoustic guitar rhythms, exceptional electric guitar lines and backing vocals.

Heaton’s most recent album, Give In, produced by Mike Denneen (Aimee Mann, Guster, Fountains of Wayne), showcases her unique rhythmic phrasing and solid keyboard skills on grand piano, Hammond B-3, Wurlitzer and Farfisa.
