Fill the Well with HEIDI FEEK

in this series, i ask other songwriters about their quest for inspiration and how they tackle the day-to-day tasks of writing quality, engaging songs. behind every good song is a hard-worker. i want to know how songwriters work and how they fill their well so it never goes dry.

Today we hear from HEIDI FEEK, a country singer/songwriter from Nashville who grew up with music in her ears. Her dad, Rory Feek has been pedalling songs to the country big-timers for 30 years, and Heidi has definitely picked up a few things from her dad. This year Heidi joined her parents (Joey+Rory) on the road singing backup and writing songs with them. What a life! Heidi is releasing The Only, her stunning debut full length next year. Heidi writes timeless pop-country songs that the mainstream will love, showing off her classic honey-toned alto. Her backing band is straight out of a modern (and sexy) spaghetti western. And, have you seen her? She’s obviously the ingenue. Get a sneak peek of The Only at her website! Click through for her fantastic interview on her songwriting process!Continue Reading
