(About MP3 downloads at CD Baby)

Four singer-songwriters have joined forces to produce a uniquely eclectic blend of folk, rock, country, Celtic, blues, and jazz. The harmonies are rich and instrumentation a varied mix of acoustic and electric.

notes

Free range originals, rich vocal harmonies, no artificial flavors... not to mention fun! Lord knows what's in it, but it sure is tasty!

How does a veteran singer/songwriter with a great voice and hot-rod guitar chops form a band? Most would find some passable side players and be the shining star front-man, but if you were Mark Utting, a rocker from Seattle, that just wouldn't be good enough. You'd hunt for singers, writers, and players whose skills rival your own.

And if you teamed up with Josh Bogle, a versatile jazz-head from Oregon, pulled in Daniel Reed, a sharp gospel-folkie from California, and then were lucky enough to snag celtic torch chanteuse MB Whitaker from Idaho, you'd end up with The Heard.

Four singer/songwriters dedicated to backing each others' diverse visions; always surprising, always supremely musical, always laid-back fun and dead-earnest seriousness tied inextricably together.

Ingredients: harmonies, songwriting, rocking, grinding, dreaming, no GMO's.

  • i love this one too

    Riding the underground into Glasgow city centre, plugged into my MP3 player, feet tapping, just revelling in the harmonies and diverse sounds produced by these four musicians practising their art.

  • Great vocals and songwriting
    author: Alan Ames

    This has stellar vocals AND songwriting from all four musicians; hard to find such a combination. Hard to single any out, but check out "Phoenix" and "Long Nevada Highway." Looking forward to their next recordings.
