Heather Luttrell has been surrounded by music for as long as
she can remember. Having grown up in the company of her
father and his band, she would take her naps amidst a pile of
instrument cases at numerous live shows throughout her
childhood.
Heather started playing and writing her own music very early in
life, sounding music out on the guitar and piano. After cutting
her teeth playing solo shows, she gathered several talented
Atlanta musicians to back her. The trio formed Heathergrrrl and
the Hungover. The group recorded a live album, and toured
throughout the Southeast garnering a loyal and enthusiastic
following.
After a couple years with the band, Heather ventured out on her
own again, finding that outlet allowed her to be ultimately more
creative and self-sufficient. She's developed a very dedicated
fan base in the 5 years of solo touring since then. In 2002,
Heather released her 1st album, the live solo acoustic "Drive It
Like You Stole It". Her follow-up studio album "Grits n' Pulp",
was released in early 2005 and showcases Heather's proven
bare bones vocal and guitar combination while enhancing
various performances with a full backing band and her own
masterful piano abilities.
Heather is preparing to tour in support of her own music, her
latest EP "Pomegranate,” as well as the new 2010 release ”Live
From the Kirkwood Public House.” Having the benefit of her
global exposure, she looks forward to what the future holds on
her terms. She still enjoys performing solo, but is also joined by
a new backing band including Charlie Wooton on the bass, her
father, Ralph Luttrell on the dobro, and Rafael Pereira, who
performed on her album, giving a solid back to her powerful
vocals and melodic style.
She has played with such acts as Angie Aparo, Lynyrd Skynyrd,
Ryan Adams, Elton John, Melissa Ferrick, Robert Earl Keen,
Bela Fleck, Teagan and Sara, Alana Davis, Michelle Malone,
Lynyrd Skynyrd, Zac Brown Band, Marshall Tucker, Georgia
Satellites, Delbert McClinton, Dave Mason, and Shawn Mullins.
