Heather Jean Jordan

Heather Jean Jordan is a Banff-based singer-songwriter, poet, and multi-disciplinary performer whose work weaves together music, storytelling, theatre, movement, and education. Raised on a farm in Manitoba and originally trained in opera and classical piano, her music draws from across genres, culminating in a strain of folk that feels both familiar and full of surprises- a wild meadowlark serenading the wind. Her debut album, Some Dappled Night (2023), is a contemplative and myth-infused collection rooted in landscape, ancestry, and the natural world. Drawing on her Scottish, Irish, and Icelandic heritage, Heather Jean’s writing moves fluidly between mysticism and lived experience — between faerie glades and winter storms, ancestral fires and present-day resilience. Her songs explore connection: to the earth, to one another, and to the deeper rhythms that carry us through hardship and joy. Known for her moving vocals and evocative lyricism, Heather Jean creates performances that feel intimate and immersive. Whether on festival stages, in theatres, or in community halls, she invites audiences into a shared space of wonder, reflection, and belonging. Community & Leadersh... more...
