HEISK's new album 'Headstrong' out January 26th 2024 on CD, digital (and hopefully) vinyl.
Their new album Headstrong goes beyond music creation; it involves an ambitious mentoring programme to develop opportunities for underrepresented young women and gender minorities in traditional music. This programme encompasses various areas of the industry, from recording and producing to mixing, instrumental performance, marketing, business, and live shows. Notably, this initiative follows the entire production of HEISK's second album, from recording to release, underlining their dedication to enfranchising the next generation of musicians while continuing to break new ground in traditional Scottish folk music.
Headstrong comprises nine fresh, innovative tracks and as well as their signature, inventive instrumentals marks the first time HEISK has collaborated with songwriters. “Diamonds” was written by Ada Francis and arranged by HEISK and “Tutti Fruity” was written by Josie Duncan and arranged by HEISK.
HEISK, a dynamic six-piece folk band, reshapes traditional music by blending Scottish roots with contemporary vigour and a dedication to gender diversity. Committed to amplifying the voices of women and gender minorities, HEISK's journey embodies musical excellence, diversity, and empowerment.
United by a love for Scottish traditional music and a goal to enhance gender representation, HEISK's debut album, a collaborative effort with talented women spanning various roles, stands as a groundbreaking testament to female empowerment. Renowned for their electrifying live performances, HEISK is a festival circuit highlight.
Critical acclaim from The Scotsman, Songlines, and others reflects HEISK's bold, energetic, and impeccably played music. As a six-piece ensemble, including Electro Harp, Keys, Kit, Accordion, and Fiddle players, HEISK continues to captivate audiences with their innovative approach to traditional Scottish folk.
