Join us October 12 for Heather Aubrey Lloyd!

Well folks, as promised last winter, it's time to have Heather Aubrey Lloyd back on Bonnie Branch for her own show! I am so excited to finally host Heather solo for a full show. Heather has been here together with her band ilyAIMY twice before. And she gave us a short teaser set in February, opening for Marc Douglas Berardo. But now the spotlight will be on Heather as she promotes and performs her almost-released album, Panic Room With A View. It's official release date is October 17th.

The road to A Panic Room With A View has been long and bumpy, and filled with, well, panic. The title comes from Heather's life during the pandemic, watching the closed-off world through a window in her family's home. So many of the songs on the album were written during these long months and years, as we all waited to get some good news that we could finally go back to some form of "normal." While most of us were limited in expressing our lives as we complained and commiserated with friends and family, Heather wrote about it. But the panic didn't end with the pandemic. As she was putting the album together, the Southern California wildfires last year affected the studio in Alta Dena where she did some recording and where the album was being engineered. Heather will be able to tell you all about that at the show.

Needless to say, Heather and her entire team came through it all and Panic Room With A View is finished! I've been lucky enough to get an advanced download and I love it. You will too.

Heather has two recordings out, Samples (2010) and A Message in the Mess (2017), as well as a digital-only album The Lucky Ones (2018), all of which show off her "sing-me-the-phone-book" voice, as Pat Wictor says. She's won a lot of awards, such as the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival's Most-Wanted Artist, and she won the 2019 Grand Prize of the prestigious Bernard Ebb Songwriting Award. And I can't forget the Paul Loyd Just-This-Guy Songwriting Contest. There is an intensity to both her singing and songwriting that will leave you everywhere from awestruck to tearful to laughing and back again. And be careful to watch her perform, because you'll get as much emotion from her expressions as her singing. Intensity. Passion. Talent.

Heather and I decided to have a Sunday afternoon show. No dark drive down curvy Bonnie Branch Road for this show. In fact, the colors will have started to change by then so it should be quite a nice drive. Plus, you will all be out in time for dinner. The details of the show are below. As usual, reservations are required to attend. I really hope you can join us for what will prove to be an exciting concert!
