Heather Anne Lomax has spent the greater part of the past decade putting her own spin on Americana Country-Rock/Blues. She has won awards and has had radio play across 76 stations, locally and internationally. Hailing from Kansas City, the LA-based artist has opened for Wynonna & The Big Noise, Lee Ann Womack, Blake Shelton, Kenny Rogers, Jeff Bridges, John Hiatt, Richie Furay, Don McLean, Judy Collins, Marshall Tucker Band, Joan Osborne, Melanie, and Blood Sweat & Tears. Heather draws from the underbelly of human emotion, conjuring raw and oblique shades into her music that allows her to step into a deeply personal form of catharsis. It is through her music that she draws out these emotions and hopes to further inspire others to express themselves. She always knew she was adopted, and after years of searching, she located her birth family and discovered that she comes from an artistic and musical family. She is related to Stan of WOR NY, cousin to the well-known ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax; her mother was an artist and a musician, and her grandmother was on Broadway. So, like the prodigal daughter, she returned to her original birth name, Heather Anne Lomax. Heather has several albums including ‘Heavy Load’ (2014) under her previous name Michael-Ann which was voted one of the Top 10 Americana Records from LA, and won Robert Oermann’s ‘DisCovery of the Week Award’ by Music Row Magazine in Nashville. She was also nominated in the Top 10 Americana Artists from Turnstyle Junkpiled, and has received numerous features across music publications including American Songwriter, LA Music Examiner, Music News Nashville, and Lonesome Highway.
