Kent Heckaman
Kent is a musician, songwriter, and producer of eclectic folk/alternative acoustic indie albums. Essentially, great songwriting in collaboration with world-class vocalists, instrumentalists and engineers wherever they may be...but more often in Chicago, Nashville, and more recently near metro Washington, DC
Kent's productions are influenced by music from early Elton John, Simon & Garfunkel, Sarah McLachlan, Nouvelle Vague, Tori Amos, Laura Veirs, and many others. Kent's second album "Songs From Those Days", released in 2008, has drawn from these varied influences, and features the amazing vocals of Kate Myers, Heather Horton, Lindsay Bloom, and cameos from Karin Bergquist (vocalist from Over The Rhine).
Be on the look out for Kent's new vocal indie project with the group Sonnet Cottage - www.sonnetcottage.com - with debut album to be released in early 2012. This album features the very original and awesome vocals of Rachel Russell and Tori Russell (sisters!)...some of the best music Kent has recorded and produced ever!
Kent's productions can be heard around the world on many radio stations, including XM/Sirius radio and now on Pandora.com. You can purchase Kent's music at CDbaby.com, iTunes and Amazon.
Thanks for stopping by...peace through music!
