Heather DubyHeather Duby is a female American singer/songwriter (born July 26, 1974). She was born in Eugene, Oregon. Heather Duby has been a fixture on the Seattle indie scene for over 12 years now. She's lived in every corner of the city, performed in most every venue and somewhere along the way, also learned to navigate the roads of the city faster than any Seattle cab driver could ever hope to. Following a stint in Olympia's Evergreen College, the Portland raised singer-songwriter moved to Seattle in 1994. For several years, Duby fronted her own band and worked the Seattle restaurant industry. In 1998, after joining forces with producer Steve Fisk (Low, Soundgarden), Duby recorded her first full-length for Sub Pop Records. Dubbed Post to Wire, the album was lauded by fans and critics for its uncharacteristic approach to dreamlike pop-based sound scapes. And Sub Pop posters from the Post to Wire album also found their way onto the set of the coming-of-age teen movie American Pie 2. If you look hard enough, you might just see them. In 2001, Duby released an EP with the improvisational electronic band Elemental. Also released on Sub Pop, Heather Duby Elemental revealed a counterintuitive side of the singer-songwriter's instinctive capacities. Eventually, Duby left Sub Pop, enduring a bout of tonsillitis and a return to the restaurant business. She also made the decision to focus on challenging the conjecture of her past works. And the resulting album proved challenging even to herself. In 2003, Duby returned with Come Across the River, her first for Sonic Boom Recordings. Continuing to work with Fisk as a producer, the album painted a poignant and personal memoir of lovelorn and despair. Laboring over a simplistic template of hushed samples, pianos and strings, Duby sought to focus more on composition and less on the atmospheric production values of her earlier work. The resulting album, though daring and much more brooding than her previous work, was hailed as a critical success, establishing Duby as an adept and versatile force in the Seattle indie scene. In the interim, Duby focused on writing, recording and touring. She lent vocals (both live and recorded) to the Seattle math-rock band Minus The Bear, touring fervently alongside them, as well as the David Bazan project Headphones and Omaha's Criteria. The constant touring found Duby playing such esteemed venues as The Troubador in Los Angeles and The Great American in San Francisco. Due to distribution issues with Sonic Boom, Duby's third full-length, recorded throughout 2004 and 2005, took slightly longer to release than anticipated. In July of 2006, Duby released her third full-length album on Sonic Boom Recordings. Again produced by Fisk, the self-titled album, featuring fellow Seattle musicians Erin Tate, Alex Rose (Minus The Bear) and Rob Hampton (Band of Horses), met with critical acclaim in the likes of The Onion, The Seattle Times and The Village Voice. Its terse instrumentation, juxtaposed against Duby's languished piano sections, adroitly demonstrated the caustic forces at work within Duby's song writing. Supported by a West Coast Summer tour, and a handful of weekly jaunts throughout the Northeast, Duby appeared alongside acts such as Minus The Bear, Maritime, Headlights and David Bazan. Her self-titled album eventually went on to land in the number five slot in The Seattlest's Top-five Northwest releases for 2006, along with the number one single spot by music critic Michael Alan Goldberg (Seattle Weekly, Village Voice) for the song 'Dullard, Or Are You A Breakfast Alcoholic.' Several tracks later went on to appear in the MTV drama 'The Hills.' In the coming months, Duby is slated to begin studio work on her fourth yet-to-be-titled album at Red Room Recording in Seattle. Working alongside producer Matt Bayles (Minus The Bear, Isis, Mastodon), Duby intends to record 12 songs written during the Fall of 2006 and Winter 2007. The new demos convey a healthy range of Duby's multifaceted song writing abilities, ranging from pensive piano sketches to solemn guitar-based melodies. Coupled with Duby's critically-acclaimed vocals, the recent demos capture an expansive breadth of emotion and melody, revealing Duby as an artist ceaselessly affected by love, loss and all of their respective intermediaries. Following production of her fourth album, Duby is planning a move to New York City, followed by touring and performances both with and without her backing band. Thankfully, for the pedestrians of New York, she will not have a car. Discography
