May is off to a gray start here in New England weather-wise — but that beautiful color of green that is painting the landscape and the tips of all the trees is so incredible! It’s the same color that has overtaken the kitchen counter here at the house — so many seedlings of tomatoes, cukes, leeks, basil, parsley, dill, lettuce and chard waiting to be planted outside in just a few weeks. What an amazing time of year!
And busy, too! Here’s what’s happening in the next couple of weeks:
Saturday, May 5th
Tonight! My dear friend of many, many years, singer/songwriter Nate Towne, will be releasing his second CD, Empty Tables and Chairs, at a very special show at Tucker’s Music Pub in Norway, ME! I’m psyched to be joining him along with some other awesome musicians (including the amazing Rusty Wiltjer on his beautiful handmade drums) as part of the celebration. 8 p.m. start — and no cover charge!
Wednesday, May 9th
I’ll be the guest host and feature at Conway Cafe’s Songwriters Showcase! Every Wednesday, Conway Cafe, located in the heart of the village of Conway, NH, opens its doors and its stage to songwriters of all stripes to come share their talents. 6 to 8 p.m. Come early for the buffet, and stay for the great offerings from the wide variety of players who come out to support this great event every week!
Thursday, May 10th
Shawn and I return to Portland, ME to perform at Andy’s Old Port Pub on Commercial St. Our first outing there was very well received and we’re excited to return! 7 to 10 p.m.
Friday, May 11th
I’ll be at “home base” – playing solo in the Ledges Dining Room of the White Mountain Hotel in North Coanway, NH from 6 to 10 p.m.
Wednesday, May 16th
The Heather Pierson Quartet (with Shawn Nadeau on bass, Matty Bowman on drums and Joe Aliperti on sax) will hit Delaney’s in North Conway, NH from 9 p.m. to midnight. Bring your dancing shoes!
Thursday, May 17th
I’ll be travelling downstate with The Jeremy Dean Band to play at Strange Brew Tavern in Manchester, NH from 9 p.m. til the wee hours. Blues, blues and more blues is what we’ll have on tap!
That’s it for now. I’ll send an update down the road about the rest of my May calendar. Be sure to connect with me on Twitter (@HeatherPierson) and Facebook (HeatherPiersonMusic) to get the inside, day to day scoop on what’s happening in my world.
Oh, and check this out — it’s the first song from my and Shawn’s recent appearance on Great Falls TV in Auburn, ME! Enjoy – and thanks much for your love and support!
