Heather Styka performing for Last Minute Folk Concert Series in Topeka, KS
Chicago singer-songwriter Heather Styka's songs are as fresh as they are rooted in the folk and Americana tradition, delivered by a warm and soulful voice. Also a poet and writer, Styka has an instinct for lyrics that are smart and unexpected but never cryptic, analyzing the importance of moments, places, and relationships. In addition to numerous songwriting awards, her 2011 release Lifeboats for Atlantis received critical praise, hitting #3 on the national FOLK-DJ charts. As "one of the more original of the many contemporary singer-songwriters touring the US" (Tom May, River City Folk), Heather Styka stands at the forefront of her generation of songwriters.Styka's performances are marked by her sincere authenticity -- there's no difference between the cheery young Midwesterner before and after she gets on stage. Conversational and approachable, she brings lighthearted banter to her performances with a quirky sense of humor. From large halls to coffeehouses, festivals to house concerts, she retains that intimacy. "What I love about performing these songs," Styka says, "is that each one is a conversation with an audience. I don't write for myself, I write to connect with listeners." And it seems Heather Styka is doing just that. (www.heatherstyka.com)
