Heart Matter at the Royal Room
Heart Matter's original music features a unique blend of jazz, singer-songwriter, and Brazilian styles, creating dynamic, soul-stirring performances. Vibraphone, electric bass, and drums form the sonic palette, setting a potent foundation for powerful, timeless vocals.
At once, the lyrics speak to processing loss and invoke the spirits of ancestors. Another song invites mindful appreciation for the dance of life. Or “Talk is Cheap,” for instance, directly confronts the sometimes shallow, transactional nature of small talk and asks for more.
Co-led by vocalist Amy D and vibraphonist Dillon Vado, the two composers share a kinship and collaborative spirit; weaving emotionally-chromatic journeys through song.
With improvisatory elements of jazz and carefully crafted arrangements, alongside intimate lyrics, Heart Matter is electric and honest.
