Heather Bambrick's voice has been described as a combination of "the cool smoothness of Diana Krall, with the rich honey sounds of Ella Fitzgerald". She has recorded and/or performed at some of Canada's top Jazz events, festivals, and venues with artists like Phil Nimmons, Oliver Jones, Kenny Wheeler, Peter Appleyard, and Darmon Meader.

Heather's voice and/or music has been heard on radio and television commercials, in film scores and soundtracks, and on made-for-TV movie soundtracks. She has recorded backing vocals on a number of projects, and remains a consistent success in her live performances. Her stage persona has been described as a "love child of Bette Midler and Jann Arden but not without influences from those big-name Jazz ladies of the 40s and 50s."

After spending five years recording and touring with the award-winning Beehive Singers, Heather released her debut solo CD "It's About Time" to rave reviews. In its first month of release, the recording hit #17 in the first ever Canadian National Jazz Chart. "It's About Time" continues to receive regular airplay on Canadian national radio programs, on stations in New Jersey, Florida, and Alaska, as well as on satellite stations across North America.

The CD has something for everyone: classic standards, fresh unique arrangements, clever and catchy original tunes, outstanding musicianship, and a sensitive vocal delivery that goes from soft and sexy, to offbeat and quirky, to just plain "swingin'"!!!

  1. This album is a winner! This debut glows!
    Start with track #8 - Prince's "How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore" and you will understand what I say.

    "I keep your picture beside my bed
    And I still remember everything u said
    I always thought our love was so right
    I guess I was wrong
    I always thought u'd be by my side
    Mama, now u're gone

    What I wanna know baby, what we had was good
    How come u don't call me anymore?
    Yeah

    Listen
    I still light the fire on a rainy night
    I still like it better when u holding me tight
    Now hold it
    Everybody said, everybody said that we should never part
    Oh yeah
    I always did think we looked kind of cute together myself
    Say to me baby, baby, baby, why, why u wanna go and break my heart?
    Why'd u wanna do it?

    All I wanna know baby, what we had was good
    How come u don't call me anymore?
    Why don't u call me girl?

    Sometimes it feels like I'm gonna die
    If u don't call me, mama, girl, u gotta try
    Down on my knees beggin' u please, please

    Why can't u call me sometime baby, yeah

    Just one lousy dime, baby
    Why can't u call me sometime?
    Oh, no, no
    Why on earth can't u just pick up the phone? Yeah
    U know I don't like bein' alone
    Why?
    Why must u torture me?
    Why u gotta torment me so?"
