WHAT PEOPLE SAY

"Chris Heider's music hearkens back
to a time when all you needed was
an acoustic guitar, a voice, and a message.
A breath of fresh air indeed."

At The New England Folk Festival in July, 2013, Nick Noble (pictured below), the popular host of "The Folk Revival" a 90.3 WICN radio program emanating from Worcester, Ma, was in the audience and heard me sing my original song, "Cocaine Crazy," a satirical spoof about life in the USA in the 1960s. A number of folks in the audience of about 200 people gave me a standing ovation. Nick asked me to record the song and send him a copy. He played it on his radio program on August 12, 2013.
