I wanted to let you know that Felix and I have a radio show on David Lynch's Transcendental Radio station. Our show is called "Get Out of Your Head"... and we play our favourite records and interview artists on how they get into their creative flow. Please tune in sometime. It's free of course, but the great thing is that in listening to the station you are supporting The David Lynch Foundation which is teaching meditation in schools and to at-risk social groups across America with an aim to decrease violence. Our debut show airs Monday (tonight) and Friday from 6-7 pm PST, and replays on Tuesday 2-3am PST and Saturday 10-11am PST. Heather xx

Here is a message from Heather for the new year 2012:


to my fans - may the new year be filled with all that you hope for. thank you for all the support last year and always. love, heather xx


message was sent to me to forward to you. Thanks Heather!

Like last year, Heather Nova stopped on her fall tour 2011 in hospitals, mostly in departements of psychiatry and psychotherapy, by giving free acoustic concerts (with Arnulf Lindner on cello) for the patients. These concerts weren't available for public.

In an "OpenMag" interview in 2007, Heather stated: "i have always had the idea to bring music into hospitals. they are supposedly places of healing, but i don't feel the energy of healing when i go into a hospital, in fact i feel small and fearful. healing takes place on many levels, physical yes, but also emotional and spiritual. i think music could help with the latter two."

Together with Thomas Hahn from the "Agency for social artists", who has already organized the hospital concerts last year, this idea could be fulfilled again.

Here you can see a short documentation made by German TV station "SWR" about Heather Nova doing a concert in the "Robert Bosch Hospital" in Stuttgart. Also Thomas Hahn is being interviewed.

ARD Mediathek (in German language)


Edit by Gerd (1/1/2012): Here is a clarification on hospital gigs by Heather:

"this is a project i have been thinking about for some time. i call it "living music" and my idea was to bring live music to those who are too ill to go to a concert. i feel that hospitals are places where people go to get well, but that often some of the elements needed to FEEL well on all levels are missing in hospitals. it is my feeling that music can relax and stimulate the senses and emotions in a way that is beneficial to the whole being and therefore it can play a part in the overall healing and wellbeing of a patient, even if it is in a small way.
but even if all it does is give pleasure to someone and allow them half an hour of enjoyment and a break from the stress of their situation, that is enough too.
so when i am on tour i stop in at hospitals in some of the cities i am playing, and give informal acoustic gigs to those who want to listen. it is all done on a volunteer basis, no fees involved, in the spirit of a simple sharing of music. "

Heather Nova's appearance at the French show "Taratara" will be aired on January 13, 2012 on tv station "France 2" and on mytaratata.com.

The recording took place on November 7, 2011 in Paris. She performed "Higher Ground" and a duet (cover from Bruce Springsteen's song "No Surrender") with Belgian singer Milow.

Edited 02-Jan-2012 with new date: Thanks to Rero!

Heather was in Paris on November 7, 2011, to record the "Taratata" tv show there. She performed "Higher Ground" and a duet (cover from Bruce Springsteen's song "No Surrender") with Belgian singer Milow.

The complete program (with other artists, too) will probably be aired in January 2012 and streamed on mytaratata.com.

This is not an April Fools joke! Heather Nova has really made Drive Away part of her final PledgeMusic update.

As someone who has asked for this song for years now, I just want to personally thank Heather Nova for releasing this song. It's wonderful!

And in her own words:

final gift of thanks:

hi

i want to give you a final gift to thank you for your ongoing support and patience during my pledge campaign. i loved making all the exclusive items for you, and i hope you're enjoying the new album.

here are three previously unreleased recordings:

"flowers and blood" is a song i wrote during the "jasmine flower" period that never made it onto the album.
"drive away" is a song i wrote during the "south" period that never made it onto the album.
and i have also included my original demo of "motherland".

i hope you enjoy them, and thank you again for helping me get this record out.

hope to see you on the road!

love, peace and music

heather xx
