About
Bone & Bell is part breath, part bellow. Led by Texas artist and musician Heather Smith, Bone & Bell combines haunting vocal harmonies and lush instrumentation to create a dissonant prayer: both heavenly and tension-filled.
Heather spent her childhood exploring the forests of Poetry, Texas, with a song on her lips and a dog on her trail. Over the years, Heather accumulated a series of instruments and with them wrote a series of songs. "Loom", Bone & Bell's first EP, is a sampling of baritone ukulele songs. "Organ Fantasies", Bone & Bell's second EP release (May 2012), is a collection of songs inspired by vintage organs gathered from alleyways, fleamarkets and secondhand stores.
Bone & Bell has evolved over time. What was once a solo effort has become a quintet. Heather recently joined forces with Ryan Farnham (drums- formerly of Catfish Haven), Rick Roberts (bass, keys) and Jason Tuller (guitar, bass).
"Songwriter Heather Smith has a special talent for melancholy, precise folk songs that are instantly hummable and carefully crafted. Her music is regal and charming, possessing a literary feel."
