Vera Van Heeringen, originally from The Netherlands, is firmly rooted in transatlantic traditions. Her emotionally astute songwriting is underpinned with an understated rich instrumental craft on guitar and mandolin. In September 2019, Vera released her third album, Won’t Be Broken, receiving rave reviews and described by the press as her best recording yet. Her songs are poignant and personal, heartbreaking and uplifting, her playing stripped back, potent, and full of groove.
“ Vera is a master of the less-is-more lyric, conveying more in half-a-dozen words than lesser mortals do in half-a-dozen verses. Towering, powerful and impressive songwriting. ”
