Ep 15 Heath Cullen - Musician, songwriter

Heath Cullen returns with his first new album in five years, Springtime in the Heart, unveiled on April 17, 2020. The album was recorded in Los Angeles with three time Grammy winning producer Joe Henry and is the long awaited follow up to Cullen’s 2015 collaboration with Elvis Costello’s Imposters, the critically acclaimed Outsiders.

The release also marks Joe Henry’s triumphant return to the producer’s chair following a tumultuous year in which he received a stage four cancer diagnosis (now, thankfully, in remission), and features an A-team of Henry alumni: Jay Bellerose on drums; Jennifer Condos on electric bass, Adam Levy on guitars; Patrick Warren on keys; and Levon Henry on reeds. The album was recorded and mixed by Pete Min and mastered by Kimberly Rosen.

Like every other performer who relies on touring to make their living, Heath lost his entire income in the blink of an eye. Coming right off the back of a string of canceled work due to the Australian bushfire summer from hell, this COVID-19 pandemic hits hard. Heath was preparing to announce a run of tour dates to launch the new album, but has no option now but to put these plans on hold until it’s safe to go back out on the road.

The only safety net in this time is the connection to his audience, so in response to this emergency Heath joined up with Patreon to help continue bringing his music to his audience. Subscribing through Patreon is an incredible way that you can support the artists that you love, and it helps them to focus on their creative work by providing a reliable, steady income stream. As a Patreon member, you’ll receive access to exclusive content: Whole albums of unreleased material! Demo recordings, sketches and more! Behind-the-scenes updates! Live stream concerts! And the pride of fuelling work that (he hopes) truly matters to you.
