Heather Keizur
Regularly performing with some of the Northwest’s premier musicians, Keizur has also fronted for groups made up of world class players such as Seattle’s guitarist Milo Petersen, formerly with Eartha Kit and Bay Area pianist David K Mathews, currently touring with Santana and formerly of the Etta James’ band.
Heather’s passion for music began as a child in British Columbia, Canada. Throughout her life, she has performed as a soloist, and with a variety of jazz bands, country and pop music duos, and in churches in Canada, Oregon, and California. In 2008, she hit the vibrant Portland, Oregon jazz scene with her unique, timeless and bi-lingual style and is now a well-known and highly esteemed entertainer there. She also performs in Seattle, Port Townsend, New Orleans and Vancouver Island, BC.
Shades of Dalida, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole and Henri Salvador can be found in Heather’s latest CD, Under My Skin, a sultry, expressive, soothing, and romantic album with classic ballads, jazz standards and some authentic French chansons. Her first CD, J’ai Deux Amours, a handful of beautiful melodies of love and longing, many sung in French, speaks to Heather’s love of Edith Piaf, Blossom Dearie and Billie Holiday.
