Live from The Pink Shop - Vocalist, Heather Mae Foard

As part of their Sunday spotlight entertainment series, The Pink Shop is hosting live music in their courtyard on June 5th, with singer, HEATHER MAE FOARD.  Performing all over the United States promoting her album "Gonna Be Alright," Heather Mae accompanies herself on acoustic guitar, ukulele, and piano.  Expect to hear songs from her newest songwriting project "365 SONGS 365 DAYS" where, you guessed it - from October 2010 to October 2011, she will be writing and recording one song everyday for a year. 

If the Fleet Foxes' harmonies and Ingrid Michaelson's lyrics had a ginger baby, you would get Heather Mae Foard.   Actually while competing against nearly 500 contestants, Heather's folk composition of Ingrid Michaelson's hit single "Everybody" recently won her 3rd place in the "Everybody" Video Contest.   Heather Mae resides in the Northern VA area, after moving here recently from NYC, but she performs wherever her music takes her.  Check out her website at www.heathermaefoard.com to hear some of her cool tunes. 

The Sunday Spotlight Series called “LIVE from THE PINK SHOP” hosts weekly live performances on Sunday afternoons, such as stand-up comedians, theater groups, book signings, living history events and outdoor concerts, featuring local musicians and bands from a wide range of musical genres  (bluegrass, rock, classical, jazz, etc).

Sundays are a great time to visit the shops and restaurants of historic downtown Leesburg and this series allows you a chance to stop by and sit for a spell, under the trees, while listening to an outdoor concert or other special event.  Plus it gives local musicians, a new place to perform, especially young bands and musicians, that do not have as many venues and opportunities to play for the public. 

For more information about this weekly event or if you would like to perform, please call Sola Pallotta at 703-973-6400.
