Artist History Heidi Beyer, long time L.A. area resident, was born and raised in the fertile musical environs of New York City. Heidi has always been interested in music. More fortuitous for Heidi was a visit, at the age of 10, to a music store on Long Island where she picked up her first guitar. Strumming the strings of that guitar told her what she wasto do in this life and she has been at it ever since. Heidi Beyer is a singer, a song-writer, and a capable producer of her own work, and given the adept crew of musicians she has gathered on the first CD, she has demonstrated that she is a superb team-player.

Albums Choosing To Remember

Press Reviews Heidi Beyer's collection of five heart-felt songs herald the arrival of a new singer-songwriter on the L.A. music scene whose take on the ups and down of life are particularly touching. Her topic in this series of songs is one of longing for the connectedness that only comes with the union of two kindred spirits. But for Beyer, love, in each of these well-recorded, well-engineered ballads, clearly transcends the purely physical; love is the destination of all our wanderings. Particulary excellent here is the catchy "I Am Not Holding Back" with its wistful Suzanne Vega-like lyricism and simple chord progressions that underscores the beautiful text of "Take This Fragile Heart". And Beyer's literary pedigree clearly shines in her song "From the Inside Out", a lament for the life of an unhappy, well-to-do woman reminiscent of the hero of E.A. Robinson's famous poem, "Richard Cory". No one is writing music like this. These songs are well-thought through, yet they've lost none of their polish. We need to see more of this woman's work. ****......Paul Cook, Pulse/Magazine and The American Record Guide of
