Heather O’Neill was born June 5, 1982 in County Kerry, Ireland. She moved to the States at the age of four. she lived in and around the Chicagoland area in her formative years. At eighteen she moved to New York City to study film. She became a regular at jazz clubs, ultimately changing her medium. Upon returning to Chicago, Heather took some poetry classes. This became the material featured on Back There. (O’Neill’s first record)

Pain, humor, and understanding fuse her words which are met by a thumb and finger picking guitar style truly unique to Heather. It’s a lyrical and musical patchwork that is sure to draw in any listener. She has just wrapped a summer tour which breezed through Colorado, Arizona, California, Minnesota, Iowa, and New York. Currently she is dishing out new material for her second record that fans are calling “provocative blues ”.
