Band Members:
The Heather Frahn Trio... (from left to right) Ryan Maguire harmonica, Heather Frahn vocals/hybrid guitar-bass/lap slide guitar/irish bouzouki/stomp box, Daniel Seymour drum kit/percussion
imagine...
a woman's voice, singing from the heart of the earth, with a resonance that is undeniably her own
weaving honest lyrics that invite, empower and inspire
through beds of acoustic groove, uniting funk to folk to blues tinged roots
it's solo with her hybrid 8 string guitar... or trio with drums and harmonica
all intimately connected with a motivation of promoting peace in this world
...this, is Heather Frahn Music
Heather's distinctive voice sings in a powerful accapella style. Her "Human Being" song expresses lyrics about equality, human rights, divisions in society... she offers the question "can LOVE be a label for a human being? instead of man, woman, gay, straight, young, old, black or white? How might this change the world?"

“We Are One†album by Heather Frahn
Heather Frahn is one of the artists pioneering the ‘conscious music movement’ in Australia. Heather’s album “We Are One†is a collection of songs reflecting humanity and life. Her lyrics express lessons learned and explore questions asked about humanitarian, philosophical, social, spiritual & political issues that are common to human beings globally.
Dashing in folk, funk, roots and acoustic groove, “We Are One†is a musical blend for the ears embracing stripped down acoustic songs to full band arrangements. The album was produced by ARIA Award Winner Richard Pleasance (also produced Kate Cebrano/Jimmy Little/Deborah Conway/Sophie Koh/Augie March/Boom Crash Opera), and was recorded in the beautiful surrounds of Dayelsford Victoria.
Heather’s album is of outstanding quality, and her Award Winning vocals on “We Are One†are a tour de force due to her ability to beautifully phrase lyrics, that a lesser vocalist would stumble over. Blessed with a rich, powerful voice, more than just a singer, Heather is a passionate, expressive song stylist.
This album is recommended to those who enjoy reading authors such as Eckhart Tolle, Osho, Lama Surya Das, and if you enjoy songwriters such as Cat Stevens, Joni Mitchell, Tracy Chapman, Michael Franti, John Butler Trio, Luka Bloom or Ani Defranco.
