Songs from under the skin of Humanity,

Musician Adie Higginson is with

Singer Songwriter Heti Hope

Heti Hope: Singer Songwriter and Composer writes her songs at the piano or playing the guitar. Pondering deeply on what meets her in life, what comes to her now; from past experiences; what is going on around her and what she hopes for the future, she searchers for concepts to connect beyond our seeming differences, in order to recognise common affirmatives from deep with in each of us, on love and living. She works closely with her husband and musician, Adie Higginson, enjoying the weaving of his musical ideas around her lyrics, as well as his capacity to pick up and elaborate on her sometimes quirky passages and rhythms and Heti loves working with the addition of the full band.

These unique songs battle against being innately Folk derived,  drawing on a wide selection of listened to genre; Jazz, Blues, Reggae, Classical, Contemporary Pop, music that Heti has grown up hearing over decades, from her friend’s and her own choice of music up to the present day and going back to her parents’ musical influences before the 60’s.

Despite being born before screens, the social media and technological Evolution, Heti is hopeful that through recording and performing live, she is finding a world musical portal to share and connect with audiences present in this time.  

For Sweet Dreamers, Creatives, Guardians of the Earth,

Treading with awareness on Nature’s path, 

Heti Hope on keys, sings poetic words, 

as if for Leonard Cohen, Bob Marley, Nina Simone. 

Too many to name in space, here and time gone,

Aadventuring with Humanity, for a World to come.

We have just gratefully utilised the wonderful talent of Actor Milo Cawthorne on drums. He flew down from Auckland at short notice to record with us taking the place of of Sara Fredrickson. We loved working with Sara. After our tour, it became evident that the music was growing and moving into more gentle grooves. Sara is a drummer whose foundation is based in Metal, Rock, which she loves as do we, however, Heti & Hope are moving even more into cosmic folk, soul and jazz grooves, with slow beats, sinking more and more into a dreamy space as some of the songs demonstrate on the up coming next album.

Heti & Hope a waiting their album Hidden Plains, recorded as a band 2026
