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.
