Steven Heighton, Queen’s MA ’86 and accomplished author, had no interest in performing his own songs until the owner of Wolfe Island Records heard him play.
Heighton’s latest work,
The Devil’s Share, is a delightful change of pace a full-length studio album that recalls the style of greatsinger-songwriters like Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen.
While Heighton is quite acquainted with doing public book readings, he told
The Journal that taking his songs to the stage will be a different beast.
“I’ve played guitar in front of people at parties and I used to busk and played a few small gigs, but this’ll be a new thing,” he said.
