Heather Blush and the Uppercuts
(http://www.heatherblush.com/)
For those looking for a new sound Heather Blush & the Uppercuts are a breath of fresh air. The grooves of blues/jazz combined with roots folk and a bit of humorous insanity makes for a joyful listen. Starting of the hilarity is the first track Papaya Papaya. A bit of a corny track talking about fruits but yes there is more. Settling into some of the other tracks you will notice and enjoy the musical genius that Heather Blush is. Her sultry and raspy voice adds a zest and mature value to the music. With a variety of success on CBC radio and the show Homestretch the band has been across the pond to the UK and appeared and played at many shows that have gained notoriety for them. If you are looking for something different but still having a bit of eclectic sound be sure to check some of the festivals coming across North America this year for Heather Blush & the Uppercuts.
