Sarah Heath, Lucy McLellan, and Peggy Ogilvy bring a unique kind of family entertainment to towns throughout New England, delighting audiences of all ages with their inventive blend of folk/jazz, lush harmonies, humorous anecdotes, and wealth of musical instruments. Playing cello, flute, piano, guitar, and baroque recorder, the group performs original songs as well as music from a variety of folk traditions.

Daughters of former Yale Glee Club director Fenno Heath, the Heaths have sung as a natural trio since childhood and readily convey a deep love for the joy of making all kinds of music together.

The Heaths have released four CDs of their own and have been featured on a variety of creative projects, including Sandra Boynton’s Grammy nominated 2003 release “Philadelphia Chickens” along with Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline, Patti Lupone, Laura Linney, and The Bacon Brothers.

From, Carolyn Jensen (NPR):
“ Lovely and lyrical, with enduring peace and beauty (Gentle Fire).”

Henry Becton (President, WGBH):
“ Many great talents are on display in this holiday selection of old favorites and new compositiions (On Christmas Day), designed to delight the most musical of listeners.”

From The New Haven Register:
“ The Heaths have made a solid name for themselves on the Northeastern folk circuit, with their ace harmonies and their multi-instrumental talents.”

From Joemy Wilson (musician, CA):
“ I think Gentle Fire is gorgeous. I was especially moved by the title tune and Ascutney Rising. I also found, after just one hearing, that the poignant strains of Hard Times kept echoing in my brain for hours. Yours is a wonderful sister act; your voices blend beautifully, and the obvious love you all have for making music together shines through like, well, like Bright Morning Stars!”

From David Roth (Singer/Songwriter):
“ Listen to The Heaths for awhile; beautiful music, wonderful arrangements, and soothing, pristine voices will come to your rescue. If you get to hear them live (honest, breathtaking, and unpretentious), prepare to be mesmerized.”

From Susan Bingham (Composer):
“ Poignant, delicate, playful, tender, and hopeful songs - issuing out of the organic richness of their own experiences.”

From Dr. Emily Fine (gynecologist and obstetrician):
“ Our whole office is obsessed with this recording, we can’t stop playing it.”

From Northeast Performer:
“ Hey Ho to the Greenwood (Gentle Fire) is clear evidence of the Renaissance influence in the Heaths’ music. It opens with a recording of the natural sounds of birds in the forest, moving easily into the soft tones of the hammered dulcimer and their voices. One would almost expect to find oneself in a forest clearing, watching the court ladies dancing while their pages tend to the horses and look on.”

From Michael Rapini (master carpenter):
“ loaded with good vibes- this planet needs more music like yours!”

From Martha Bixler (N.Y. Pro Musica):
“ spectacular, the songs are wonderful to listen to (Cornish Moon), beautfiul, captivating...arrangements are terrific. I love it, I’m entranced...”

From Linda Waterfall (singer/songwriter, Seattle, WA):
“ Full of surprises, really inventive, very exciting, I am blown away!”

From Jenifer Nields (Corona Cantans):
“ I love, love, love your CD (On Christmas Day). I’ve been having trouble keeping hold of it because my husband keeps taking it, and I find it later in his portable CD player. It is so spirited, joyful, imaginative, tender, musical, varied, fun, tender.”

Uncle Tony Quimby:
“ Damn good!”
