Calluna Rising

Calluna Rising (Heather Keddy-Vey /  formerly known as Heather Armstrong) is a singer-songwriter based in Nova Scotia, Canada. Her sound is characterized as "folky, bluesy, original music delivered by a full-bodied voice," according to local music legend Hank Middleton, and "crisp, clear vocals shining through soothing lullabies for the soul," as noted by folk singer and multi-award nominee Kristen Martell.

 

Driven by her dedication to healing energy, uplifting music, and an inclusive community, Calluna Rising's musical foundation is strong. Her debut album, "Fearless Contribution," along with singles like "Rise!" and "Dancing Strings," marked her transformation into Calluna Rising.

 

" I went through a terrible divorce" (maiden name being "Keddy" and her previous married name being "Armstrong) "and then my brother, Liam, a very well-known musician, was killed on the streets in Toronto, ON. This broke me. Calluna Rising became my name while I healed through such a hard time. "

 

Recent releases, including "Dancing Strings," "Oreo Cookie Day," and "Red," infuse soul-filled acoustic vibes with healing elements through breath-work, biblical messages, and sounds that activate the central nervous system. Calluna Rising offers a refreshing experience, leaving listeners with a sense of purpose and connection. We are all unique just as we are.
