The Heists' debut EP "Break & Mend" Now Available!

Thanks to all the radio DJs who helped us with a stellar debut in August on the Folk Alliance International (FAI) Charts!

“A great song makes you feel something.  And then, often, it makes you think and reflect.  Andrew and Erin Heist do both with “Break and Mend”.   Their voices blend seamlessly together in this gorgeous song.  Close your eyes and become immersed in this music, the stories and the imagery.  Let the sweeping chorus take you on a journey.”

— Karen Rakos, World/Folk Music Director KEUL
