Anne Heaton's "Life Is Alchemy" Project Turns Everyday Stories Into Song While touring behind her latest release "Blazing Red" (March '09) Anne Heaton interviewed fans and people from all walks of life for her "Life Is Alchemy" project, in which she collects stories of transformation and turns them into songs.
October 2009 - Gearing up for "Winterbloom" release and tour This year, winter won't be so cold. Four top up-and-coming singer-songwriters teamed up to record a new winter holiday album and are taking the show on the road! Antje Duvekot, Anne Heaton, Meg Hutchinson and Natalia Zukerman present WINTERBLOOM: TRADITIONS REARRANGED.
A mixture of new, original songs written specifically for this project and new arrangements of traditional songs, this 7-song EP covers a lot of ground. Reinventions of traditional Yiddish riddles alongside Bing Crosby-ish Christmas warmth; romantic literary-influenced irony right next to comic holiday break up sarcasm; English winter wassailing and German sung a cappella. This is quite possibly the most thoughtful and eclectic holiday show out there - as to be expected from such introspective and prolific songwriters. Tour dates between Thanksgiving and New Year's are already booked in Iowa, Illinios, Wisconsin, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, New York, Pennsylvania and DC.
