The Indigo
Road
The
Indigo Road featuring Heidi Jo Hines released their first
single Simple this week. The single has been made BBC Radio
Kent's Single of the Week. You can find out more
about this stunning new band at www.theindigoroad.co.uk
�Simple is a beautiful
acoustic track with an outstanding sound� Floatation Suite
�A striking single from
the daughter of Denny Laine, peppered with stunning melodies, sky high and
superbly crafted into something warm and absorbing.�
Subba Cultcha
At five Heidi had
her first taste of showbuisness when she appeared in the west end Musical
'Umbrellas of Cherbourg'. at 11. Her first proper gig was at the 1996
Woodstock festival where she sang with David Peel of the Lower Eastside
(who played with John Lennon)This was a great experience and gave her a
taste of what was her true passion, Singing live.
The band
is completing new material at the moment with a view to releasing more
singles over the summer ahead of a debut album planned for early in
2009. Band founder and chief writer Mark Herbert has developed a
plan for The Indigo Road which will see the band release double A side
throughout the rest of 2008.
In 2002
Heidi answered an add in the Stage newspaper looking for singers and was
picked to be in the all girl Rock/Electro band Nebula 101 .Their songs had
airplay in the states and their Promo video featured on T4, but although
successful , Heidi left as her heart was in rock n roll. Heidi wrote and
recorded her first demo and gigged the London circuit for 2 years until
she put together her own band called The HJH Band' their first gig was at
the 'Gathering' at Royal Ascot. As well as having her band Heidi is also
doing different projects with other artists, she has just recorded a song
with Hugh McDowell (from ELO) 'the song was written by Dave Winstanley of
the Classic Rock Society and will feature on an EP of Dave's songs which
is being produced to raise funds for the Society.'
"What I love about marks
songs is that they open up another part of me that's been hidden til now
they're expressive and quirky and they allow me to
explore my voice to other dimensions" explains
Heidi
Mark
Herbert picked up a guitar again in earnest a little over a year ago after
a number of years working in the very different fields of international
business and politics, environmental fund raising and education.
Since then he has been writing, recording and rehearsing with various
musicians before stepping out on The Indigo Road. His path in life
has seen him achieve a business degree, an English degree and the teaching
of English at the rough and elite end of the spectrum. Mixing band
influences from Smashing Pumpkins to The Who on a band level and from
Bowie to Costello on a songwriter level see the band deliver a diverse
blend as seen in the current double A side.
