Bio

 Two years ago, Heather Greene's debut album “Five Dollar Dress” made waves with critics and saw reviews in Rolling Stone and radio play on the BBC, WFUV NYC, France Inter, among others. They drew parallels to the imagery and sound structure of Tori Amos and Joni Mitchell. The album title was inspired by a second-hand dress bought during the recording sessions, and the audience was captured by intricately crafted songs which united romanticism, innocence, subtle eroticism, and urban wit. Moreover, the album featured guests like guitarist Bill Frisell, Steven Barber, and the Tosca string quartet. Then she disappeared to Scotland.
 
“Sweet Otherwise,” her second record written on a 100 year old upright piano in Edinburgh. A livelier collection, “Sweet Otherwise”, produced by Dennis Martin, features a stunning multitude of styles ranging from delicately painted melodies, smoothly arranged, melancholy tracks to earthy rhythms and pulsating bass lines – with no end of exciting refrains. Heather Greene’s voice has a mild ruggedness; she makes her presence felt without dominating the songs, and keeps surprising the audience with her versatility.
 
Between writing songs, Heather discovered she had a fine nose and palate for tasting whisky and became one of the first American women to be asked to sit on the Scotch Malt Whisky Society tasting panel and is now an Ambassador to Glenfiddich Single Malt. Appropriately, she brings with her tonight special guests “Dr. Whisky” (AKA Sam Simmons) and world-renown whisky Sommelier Ethan Kelly from the Brandy library (recently written up in the New York Times) to discuss and serve the fine brown spirit to First-come first-serve listeners.
