Band Bio
The sound of Heart Matter starts with soothing, lush vocals and the entrancing, mythical waves of vibraphone, weaving compositions that are both virtuosic and uplifting. Co-led by vocalist Amy D and vibraphonist Dillon Vado, the band is celebrating both one year of playing together as well as the release of their first single in January.
Heart Matter guides listeners into a state of deep and honest feeling, centering the unifying, healing qualities of sound.
Heart Matter’s innovative, original sounds combine the honesty of folk music and intentionality of chamber music with the grounded yet agile nature of Brazilian rhythm and spontaneity of jazz improvisation.
The infectiously funky nature of Esperanza Spalding, the lyrical depth of Joni Mitchell, and the catchy/memorable melodies of The Beatles and Paul Simon are some of the influences that this bold and original project nod towards in their compositions and performances.
