THE HEART COLLECTORS
AUSTRALIA
Imagine Fleetwood Mac with more of an organic, Celtic-inflected lilt of vocals and melody, and you have a rough idea of why The Heart Collectors are so instantly appealing. With the sentimentality of 70’s inspired harmonies, The Hearts combine a progressive lyric wisdom to invite positive change in their music.
In the wave of USA and UK tour cancellations due to 2020 lockdowns, the Hearts have continued to find creative ways to connect with both their Australian and International fan bases. They released one track a fortnight from their new record ‘Time To Say I Love You’, as well as being 1 of 12 Australian artists to be part of the premier programme Global Music Match – a world wide initiative to connect musicians and industry in the face of COVID-19 restrictions.
From the connections they built through 2020, The Heart Collectors have momentum in 2021, joining Folk Alliance International for Folk Unlocked Private Showcases, ISOL-AID Unlocked, and the Artists in (Their) Residence Programme. Now as the possibilities are opening to tour again in Australia, The Hearts are starting with Tasmania this January/February,
With soaring cello, intricate guitar, sparkling mandolin, boot banging banjo, passionate strikes of a tambourine and the thundering of the bodhran drum, these four charismatic performers create real musical synergy, marrying progressive folk feels, rock sensibilities and clean classical precision.
