BATH — The Chocolate Church Arts Center presents Heather Pierson, who is an award-winning pianist, multi-genre singer/songwriter, arranger, bandleader, and performer, on Saturday, Aug. 20 as part of the Saturday Concert Series at the Bath Waterfront Park.

Pierson’s music moves seamlessly and effortlessly from one style to the next, and a growing catalog of wildly divergent CD releases reflects her boundless creativity. The concert begins at 6 p.m.

At first glance, she appears to be the girl next door – youthful, friendly, a little bit shy. At the seat of a piano or brandishing an acoustic guitar, however, she transforms into a world-class performer, baring her soul in a manner that leaves her listeners breathless and aching for more.

From New Orleans-style jazz and blues to rousing Americana and poignant folk narratives, Pierson’s memorable, intimate, and cathartic live performances feature commanding-yet-playful stage presence. There is no admission.

In case of rain, the concert will be relocated to the Chocolate Church Arts Center main stage located at 804 Washington St., Bath.
