Biography

VizzTone is proud to present the sophomore solo album from red-hot singer/songwriter/bassist Heather Newman, RISE FROM THE FLAMES.
Heather’s 2017 VizzTone debut solo album, BURN ME ALIVE, spread like wildfire… gleaning rave reviews and going on to win TWO Blues Blast Music Awards – “Best New Artist Debut Album” and the “Sean Costello Rising Star Award.” Heather has also been nominated for a 2019 Blues Music Awards for “Best Emerging Artist,” adding even more fuel to the fire.
Now Heather Newman is ready to stoke that fire even further with her July 2019 release, RISE FROM THE FLAMES. The all-original 13-song album tells Heather’s personal story of coming to terms with the end of a relationship and all that went with it, and realizations of her own self worth. This album gives an insight to the real life blues of this ragingly powerful up-and-coming musician.

RISE FROM THE FLAMES features Heather Newman (vocals/bass/acoustic guitar), and her Kansas City-based band: Ryan Matthew (vocals/keys/percussion), Keith Ladd (lead guitar), and Adam Watson (drums), with guest appearances by Michael
Lefever (saxophone) and Teddy Krulewich (trumpet).
