Release Notes:
Vandaveer is the town-folk, city-pop solo song & dance routine committed to tape
and stated for the record by one Mark Charles Heidinger. In recent seasons this
Mark Charles character traversed the mighty American highways spreading golden
pop rock cheer and debauchery as principle singer, songwriter, hand-clapper, and
chorus-yelper for The Apparitions. Where The Apparitions cast five hearty votes
for bombast, electricity, and drums, Vandaveer steers left, detouring through
the quieter side of song doing his very best to learn what makes an acoustic
guitar the worldÆs finest storytelling machine.
Weaned on the cadence and vibrations of a mighty pipe organ-driven church choir,
Vandaveer picked up his popÆs old Gibson J-50 at age 15, butchered a Nirvana
tune, and went on his merry way to learn his new craft. Born in cloudy Ohio,
raised in the great state of Kentucky, and currently camped out in our nationÆs
fair capital, Vandaveer found in his heart a volume of tunes about love, death,
redemption and flight and a stirring itch to sing his way through the dark.
Vandaveer has enjoyed the good fortune of performing with a host of worthy and
humbling artists including Vashti Bunyan, The Ditty Bops, Vetiver, Smog, Tim
Easton, Mark Eitzel, Steve Forbert, Paleo, Phonograph, Jennifer O'Connor, and
his dear friends in DCÆs ramshackle collective, The Federal Reserve.
VandaveerÆs debut record, Grace & Speed, will be released on March 20th, 2007 on
Washington, DCÆs new imprint, Gypsy Eyes Records. Extensive national touring to
follow...
