Heidi Holton is a Nashville-based Americana provocateur who shines a soft light on the glitter and grit that collects in the farthest corners of the human experience. With a road-worn Gibson guitar and a voice dripping with the heat of the Mississippi Delta, Holton conjures a sonic landscape that flickers between the hauntingly beautiful and the brutally honest. Her music is a masterclass in raw emotion, technical prowess, and Southern Gothic cool. With a commanding stage presence and a catalog of songs that are deeply rooted, yet future-focused, Heidi holds a mirror up to her audience and dares them to fall in love with everything they see.
