Waters is endless heart and soul.

This Chicago native's breathy alto gets people's attention - that's why Gillian Welch and David Rawlings offer her songs to sing, and why Delbert McClinton hired her as a harmony singer. But it's Waters' own songs that keep listeners riveted... like Kelly Willis, she isn't afraid to rely on subtlety, and her strengths come off better because of it.

Broken-hearted daydreamers must follow Heather Waters everywhere she goes. The Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter has a voice that's been said to "rise out of the American soil, melancholy yet resilient, immediate yet timeless." One her first full-length album, shadow of you, she manages to give her lonesome songs a romantic edge that offers clarity rather than hopelessness.

It took one listen of Heather Water’s self-released ep a few years back for me to become a devoted fan. I’ve been playing it ever since and waiting patiently for the release of her full length cd. Between some fantastic song-writing and playing, and Heather’s soulful voice—which gives George Jones a run for his money— the wait was well worth it.

Do you recall when you first heard that definitive version of "Angel From Montgomery"? The one that seemed to have something more than just the heart and soul of the singer? It was a deep song and a moving voice. Heather Waters displays the same passion and desperation on her first full-length release, Shadow Of You, through a collection of original songs that equal the aforementioned John Prine classic. With a husky southern drawl that's achingly expressive throughout, she sings songs of longing and loss that shoot to the heart. Miles of Music


I am so jealous!! Next time, "Wait for Me!" That song sounds incredible.
Great job! Rock it, beeeeatch!

Heather Waters is refreshing...very refreshing. I can’t stop listening to her.
Delbert McClinton


Now, that’s some fucking great singing.
