This is the second year we have been able to enjoy Heather's music during our beautiful luminaria event and with decades of experience onstage, the ensemble members all have impressive careers in their own right. The group takes its cue from classic jazz stars like Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, The Rat Pack, Dave Brubeck, Vince Guaraldi, Thelonious Monk, and more.
