Heather​ Roush and The HeartStrings
 

 

Heather grew up listening to a variety of music and has been singing ever since she was little. She started out at church, sang in choirs at school and performed in talent shows and musicals. She personally had some influences from her grandmother, whose favorite was Patsy Cline and Hank Williams. Her other grandma would help her put on little shows when she was a kid. She grew up listening to Garth Brooks, Faith Hill, LeAnn Rimes, and Shania Twain. After high school, Heather continued her education at Northern Kentucky University with a BFA in Musical Theatre and minor in radio/television. She performed with local theatre companies and started working at a country music radio station (B105). There her love for country music grew even more, and she went to a talent agency with a small demo CD. She was introduced to a manager who liked her sound and from there they put together a local band to play. Heather went down to Nashville to start the recording process and picking out songs, and recorded her first album "Sides of Me". From there, she had her first local concert to benefit cancer research with some other local country bands: the Danny Frazier Band, and the Dallas Moore Band. It was a great night, and for Heather it felt good being able to sing country music for her friends and family, and for a cause that is important to her after losing her grandma to cancer. Heather continued singing around the tri-state with The Cason Coburn Band, which then turned into The Heather Roush Band. They played local bars, venues and festivals until 2022, and that's when Heather decided to get back to the acoustic music roots. So she decided to create Heather Roush and The HeartStrings! They do Country with some Bluegrass influence,  focusing on tight harmonies and unique arrangements. They play mainly breweries, wineries, restaurants, fairs and festivals and private events. Come on out to a show and enjoy the tunes!
