Heidi Savoie is a pianist, vocalist, and composer who bends and blends genres to get a unique form of jazz, classical and pop. She draws inspiration from artists such as Diana Krall, Norah Jones, Melody Gardot and Laila Biali. Although her expansive repertoire reaches across many genres and decades, Heidi has a special zeal for showing off the charming vintage pop of the 1940s. 

Her songwriting blends sincere lyrics and stirring melodies with subtle harmonic complexity that invites the listener into a dreamy soundscape. Her recent release, “Flowers for Billy” pairs her emotive piano stylings with lush string arrangements in an EP tribute to Billy Strayhorn hailed as “rich …. immediate and vulnerable” (CBC Music, Laila Biali). 

Savoie has studied with world-class musicians including Barry Harris, Dave Holland, Mark Eisenman, and Chris Potter. Heidi has performed alongside Canadian greats such as Sarah Slean, the Canadian Tenors, and more. Recent appearances include North York Concert Orchestra, TIFF, Casa Loma, Art Gallery of Hamilton and more. 

Heidi has also spent the last several years playing music for weddings and events that guests have described as “magical ambience” and “immaculate vibes”. She also teaches piano and singing, sharing her ‘cheerful noise’ approach to life and music. When not occupied with music, Heidi can often be found sewing dresses with pockets and pickling whatever can be pickled!

Strawberry Launch is a female-fronted pop rock band, born from a serendipitous cold call by lead singer Riiza to guitarist Matrianna Gahol in 2018. They quickly added Abby Flicker on bass, Taylor Hurt on keyboard, and Benjy Berkowitz on drums. Their debut EP, released in 2021, garnered acclaim from Rolling Stone India, Atwood Magazine and Under the Radar, who praised their expansive soundscapes and emotional crescendos. Building a devoted following in New York City, they’ve shared stages with Beach Bunny, Hot Flash Heat Wave, Small Crush, and The Toxhards. Their sophomore EP via Trash Casual Records, set for 2024, promises to elevate their already soaring artistry.
