PRESENTS:
SiNGER-SONGWRiTER HEATHER O'NEiLL AND HER LATEST E.P. 'A FEMiNiST MANiFESTO' 
JULY 15,
2011 - Since
emerging on the indie scene in 2005 with her debut album Back
There, HEATHER O'NEILL has become that rare singer-songwriter
who addresses tough topics that provoke and inspire – all the while
keeping her
fans smiling, tapping their toes and laughing just a little to a vibe
she calls
“provocative blues with a comedy chaser.” While still committed to
injecting “a
comical spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down,” she tackles
her
toughest subject yet – misogyny, and the way it manifests itself in the
still
male dominated music industry – on her funk and R&B infused
six-song EP
whose title says it all about its intent: A
FEMINIST MANIFESTO. On a
purely musical level, her first release since 2006’s NINE
LIVES is O’NEILL’s most fully realized project to date, a
powerfully produced work whose catchy melodies and infectious grooves
offer a
beautiful juxtaposition to the powerful and frequently heartbreaking
lyrics.
Her crisp, seductive vocals are backed by a full band, including horns,
bass,
drums and special guest stars, renowned Chicago based guitarist DAVE
UHRICH and
violinist JERRY GOODMAN, legendary for his groundbreaking jazz fusion
work with
MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA. ADVERTiSEMENT

WWW.HEATHER-ONEiLL.COM ABOUT THE HOST:  BRIAN
LUSH holds a BA in Creative Writing from the UNIVERSITY OF
NEW MEXICO. He established ROCKWIRED on New Years of 2004 and hasn't
looked back
since. He is currently the host of all of ROCKWIRED.COM's programming
which includes such shows as ROCKWIRED RADIO PROFILES and ROCKWIRED
FREE FORM RADIO. As
program producer for ROCKWiRED.COM, LUSH is hands-on when it
comes to
interviewing and building a lasting rapport with the artists that come
ROCKWiRED's
way. As a youngster, BRIAN LUSH had no idea what kind of seed was being
planted
by reading magazines such as HIT PARADE, HIGH TIMES, SPIN, REQUEST
(remember
that one?) and even ROLLING STONE. "Those were the days before the
internet and being a rock journalist
looked
like the coolest job imaginable." says LUSH "But reading these
magazines had me
imagining that one day I'd be the artist giving all of the clever
answers to
some poor guy with a tape recorder. Well, life has a way of surprising
you.
Now, I'm the poor guy with the tape recorder and asking all of the
questions."CONTACT
