Biography

Heather is an electrifying five-piece rock band from Prince Edward Island’s north shore. Fronted by Evan Martin, with Colin Crowther and Jarred Kenny on guitar, Cameron Menzies on bass, and Peter Doucette on drums, the band pairs powerful vocals with a muscular rhythm section and inventive guitar work.

Inspired by Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Foo Fighters, The Black Keys, and Radiohead, Heather balances on the edge of distortion with irresistible riffs and raw expression. Their debut album, Foundations, established that sound across sharp rock songs and reflective ballads.
