About Me


MEMBERS OF HRD:
Heather Rose -
Lead Vocals/Bass/Ideas/Drive
Andy Tarter-
Drums/Backing Vocals
Ian Conway-
Lead Guitar/Backing Vocals
Heather Rose, obviously the love child of Drew Barrymore and Johnny Depp, was raised on equal serves of Dolly Parton's country twang and Mick Jagger's attitude (problem). What would have created confusion for most instead resulted in the perfect musical upbringing for the next rock n' roll powerhouse!
After a long and winding road with local heros The StereoBirds, who called it quits in October of 2005, Heather Rose embarked on the journey she was born to take.
Presenting:
Heather Rose & The Drama.
Backed by solid and quite attractive musicians who know how to rock and make it fun while they're doing it.
Ian Conway on lead guitar leaves a crowd speechless with soulful energy and rock leads that make the girls cry.
Andy Tarter is behind the kit, bring rocking beats and the holds down HRD's ecclectic sound.
WINNERS OF THE PROVIDENCE PHOENIX BEST MUSIC POLL 2006
Voted Best Female Vocalist in 2004's Providence Phoenix Best Music Poll and awarded runner-up for Best Song, Heather Rose's melodic and magnetic vocals follow in the tradition of greats like Sheryl Crow and Liz Phair. She followed up in 2005 by doing the opposite: Taking home Best Song for "Here Again" with her band The StereoBirds and also being honored with a second nomination for Best Female Vocalist.
Her lyrics, according to the NORTHEAST PERFORMER, "...are clever and honest and her delivery is pure energy"
Boston's THE NOISE, where Heather took home Best Female Singer in 2001 states she "...has a stage presence that transcends genre. She can sing sweetly or lustily, scream righteously, and draw the audience in. Her songs are folky, gently twangy, and lovely. (And catchy!)"
Heather can be seen rocking up and down the East coast accompanied by The Drama or hitting the stage solo acoustic style. Heather's quirky interpretation of rock supplies tongue-in-cheek pop to make you think, feel and move.
Destiny kids... fate and destiny... its all there in the music.>**** I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

Sounds Like: Heather Rose & The Drama contain a combo of rock/pop/country twang/ folk/ more rock/ sarcasm/ heartbreak/ drama/ trauma/ and rock!

Heather Rose combines the harmony of the Bangles, the siren in the voice of Tanya Donelly, the grit of The Throwing Muses & Kristin Hersh, the who cares of Joan Jett and the answer to that question in Karen Carpenter.
She uses the driven meloncholic wit of Aimee Mann and the driving screw-you politics of Sleater Kinney. Heather Rose keeps the conversational country of Lucinda Williams in her heart, the passion and pulse of Tori Amos in her being, and the sharp bluntness of Liz Phair in her fists.
She is strong enough to stand tall next to Sheryl Crow and humble enough to bow her head in her presence. Heather Rose is a conglomerate of all that has ever been and will be in a female front person...
An ego-centric selfish bitch... with an inferiority complex... Heather Rose holds the makings of a true anti-hero for little girls
without friends or dates and their older sisters who have both.
Containing some of the most goodlookin' and goodrockin' players in town,
Heather Rose & The Drama are ready and willing.. so bring it!
