Heather MacIsaac

Nova Scotia

Born and raised in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, an area known for its strong Scottish Highland heritage, Heather MacIsaac was exposed early to the pipes as a highland dancer, then later began playing the pipes as a solo and pipe band competitor. After years of composing melodies as a pastime, piper and multi-instrumentalist Heather MacIsaac has decided to share her late-night creative endeavours. The Moon’s Daughter, Heather’s debut album, is a collection of original compositions performed on Highland and small pipes, whistle, piano, and voice. She has begun exploring the deep culture of her family’s Scottish Gael ancestry which has shaped her life. In her search for the past decade to find her own voice in piping she has been influenced by the classical piano lessons of her youth, playing as an Irish style session regular at a local pub, and ubiquitous fiddle music of the area. With the release of The Moon’s Daughter, Heather feels she has overcome her earlier struggles with performance anxiety and is ready to let others know how she has developed a musician.
