Musical Performance: The Heather McKoy Band

Sat 1 PM | Café
Sat 6 PM | Goose in the Round, Main Stage

If you’re listening to the Heather McKoy Band, you’re likely to be led down a path where you’ll tour the familiar road marks of your favorite R&B, Motown, Rock, Folk, and Pop songs. While the songs and artists they cover are inclusive and diverse, the engine driving the bus on this sonic tour is full-throttle acoustic-percussive, wood and steel, back porch, family reunion, kill the fatted calf and throw a party kind of sound. It’s a performance that invites everyone to take part. Lead singer, Heather Elkin McKoy, never stays in one lane. Her energy, stage presence and catastrophic vocal range is matched only by the wide sweep of musical landscape this band covers. Her soulful melodic vocals can steer the bus from rock to rap. Known in the Charlotte, NC area for her vocal diversity, Heather enjoys energizing a crowd and garnering their support to sing, dance and celebrate with her. Heather is backed by vocalist and guitarist, Greg Hathaway, while percussionist, Jimmy Paschke, holds down a rock-solid rhythm.
