Heidi Holton
July 21, 2023 @ July 21, 2023 - July 21, 2023
Deep in the heart of southern Appalachia, sounds from the Mississippi Delta echo through the lush mountain air, haunting the fretboard of Heidi Holton’s well-worn Gibson guitar. Original and fresh, traditional with a contemporary flair, Heidi is turning heads with her mastery of the music of the deep south. Her songwriting shines like the sweet glistening sweat on the brow of a Piedmont preacher behind the pulpit on a sultry Sunday afternoon. Following in the footsteps of guitar-slingers like Memphis Minnie and Reverend Gary Davis, Heidi Holton is making a name for herself in the international blues community.
Popular demand keeps Heidi busy playing about 150 shows a year to a wide variety of audiences. She recently completed a four-week tour in Italy and plans to perform in the UK in the summer of 2019. She has opened for Jorma Kaukonen, Rory Block, and Roy Bookbinder and is a regular performer at the Arts and Minds Festival at the Fur Peace Ranch. In the words of her friend and mentor Jorma: “People often ask me if I ever worry about the future of our music. With artists like Heidi… the future is safe.”
Heidi Holton is back and ready to share her music with you.
