Folk goddesses Aoife O'Donovan (of Crooked Still) and Heather Masse (of The Wailin Jennys) unite to wail and still the ears and hearts of west coast audiences this April 2009.  Aoife and Heather were classmates, collaborators, and friends while attending The New England Conservatory of Music from 00'-04'.  Five years later, both having made a name for themselves in the music world, they reunite joining forces to sing together again.  They will be making their way to the west coast to perform their original songs and music accompanied by a full band from April 19th-26th.  

New York-based singer song-maker Heather Masse grew up in rural Maine and began singing at an early age. Having taken a degree in Jazz Voice from the New England Conservatory of Music, Heather is steeped in the jazz tradition, which informs her distinct approach to singing music of all sorts. She is a member of the acclaimed Juno Award winning Canadian band "The Wailin' Jennys", and has performed at hundreds of venues across the country including appearances on Garrison Keillor's A Prairie Home Companion.  She has performed with the renowned contemporary bluegrass band "The Wayfaring Strangers," and has appeared at venues including NPR's World Cafe, the Somerville Theater, and Boston's Symphony Hall, sharing the stage with the Boston Pops Orchestra. In 2006, she recorded an eponymous album with the Boston-based group "Joy Kills Sorrow," a modern string band that finds it home in the cracks between bluegrass, jazz, old-time, and pop styles, as well as a self-released EP Tell Me Tonight, a collection of original songs performed with her own Brooklyn-based outfit "Heather and the Barbarians."  Heather's rich, soulful, voice elegantly moves through numerous styles organically and with sincerity, a quality learned from some of her early influences including Ray Charles, Bonnie Raitt, Joni Mitchell, and Chet Baker.

"What a voice!  Every once in a while I happen on a voice so pure, with such great texture, intonation, time and phrasing that it stops me in my tracks. Heather Masse has all that and more."  - John Ziegler, KUMD

Acclaimed vocalist Aoife O'Donovan has been turning heads all through the music scene for the past 6 years. Called "Americana's newest darling" by USA today, Aoife is a founding member of newgrass sensations "Crooked Still," with whom she tours the world for most of the year. She is also a member of the folk-noir trio, "Sometymes Why." 2007 has seen Aoife on stages from the Shetland Islands to Yosemite National Park, with stops across Europe, Canada, and the USA in between. Though just beginning to play shows featuring her own material, her quirky original songs have garnered praise worldwide. Originally from Newton, Massachusetts, Aoife continues to make her home in the musical hotbed of Boston.

"O'Donovan. Aoife O'Donovan. Remember that name, because with a sultry voice that makes her sound like a bluesier Alison Krauss, she's about to become the newest darling of the Americana set..."  - USA Today
