About Me


"Do You Remember Rose" - footage from Heather's CD release concert, November 17, 2007
Singer/songwriter Heather Chappell’s vocal and instrumental talents have their roots in a childhood filled with music and song. Harmonies around the campfire, kitchen table, BBQ, and tea pot were common growing up - with pianos, guitars and folk songs abundant at most family gatherings. She and her siblings learned to sing four part harmony in the back of the family van on long road trips!With her diverse musical upbringing and an educational background in English literature, Heather’s self penned material is lyrically deep, emotional and intimate, often calling to mind the sweetness of a familiar Celtic ballad or the hush of a sacred Sunday hymn. Many of Heather’s songs are lyrical paintings, depicting the human condition in its various stages of struggle, joy and self reflection.Heather has worked and recorded with Dawud Wharnsby Ali, Scarboro Aquarium Club, and The Woolgatherers. The Moon a Bullethole is Heather's debut solo CD.
