Heather Hammers is a Midwest-born singer-songwriter whose music feels like a quiet walk through a winter forest—beautiful, reflective, and full of subtle emotion. From her early days singing a cappella around the house to teaching herself guitar at 15, Heather has always been drawn to the raw, unfiltered power of music. By 17, she was already performing her original songs at local all-ages shows in southern Illinois, captivating audiences with her delicate voice and heartfelt lyrics.
Her 2019 EP, In Living Spaces, showcases her DIY ethos—written, recorded, and produced entirely by Heather herself. The collection is a testament to her ability to transform personal experiences into universal songs that resonate with listeners. Tracks like “I Still Love You” have garnered praise for their haunting beauty, with fans describing them as “heartbreakingly beautiful” and “a tear laxative during a difficult life transition.”
Heather’s music travels the same emotional highways as artists like Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell, Phoebe Bridgers, and Gregory Alan Isakov — blending storytelling with spacious production and a voice that feels both intimate and lived-in. Drawing inspiration from themes of longing, heartbreak, family, and nature, she crafts songs that are both deeply personal and widely relatable.
Her upcoming album, slated for release in the fall of 2025, delves into themes of romantic love, loss, and the aching solitude that often follows. With lyrics that cut to the core of heartache and yearning, the album promises to be a deeply personal exploration of those fragile moments when love slips away and you're left grappling with the quiet aftermath.
Whether performing in intimate venues or sharing her music online, Heather Hammers continues to lead with authenticity, inviting listeners to join her on a journey of introspection and connection.
