Heather Masse - Beautiful Dreamer
New York-based singer-songwriter Heather Masse is a member of the acclaimed Juno Award-winning Canadian band The Wailin' Jennys, and she has performed at hundreds of venues across Europe, Canada, and the states. She appeared regularly on Garrison Keillor's "A Prairie Home Companion," where she shared the stage with Wynton Marsalis, Elvis Costello, Sheryl Crow, Arlo Guthrie, and Tom Rush. She has performed with the bluegrass band The Wayfaring Strangers on NPR's World Cafe, and at Boston's Symphony Hall with the Boston Pops Orchestra. Heather also performs locally with a Brooklyn-based collaboration, "Heather & the Barbarians." Heather grew up in rural Maine and began singing at an early age. With a degree in Jazz Voice from the New England Conservatory of Music, the jazz tradition informs her distinct approach to singing music of all sorts. Heather's rich, soulful voice elegantly moves through numerous styles organically and with sincerity — a quality learned from some of her early influences including Ray Charles, Bonnie Raitt, Joni Mitchell, and Chet Baker. Recently, she took the time to answer some questions about her musical background, appearing on APHC, and her new album.
What can you tell me about ‘Hold On’? It's your second full-length solo project.
I recorded my new album 'Hold On' with Jed Wilson this winter when I was 8 months pregnant with my little girl. We have been playing music together for almost 20 years and had never made a full-length album together. We had the songs, and a little window of time before Ida Rose arrived so we went for it! The album is mostly originals of mine. I wrote the title track ‘Hold On’ about trusting humanity and finding hope and peace amidst today’s chaos. The album carries this theme from intimate matters of the heart to holding the weight of these troubling times.
‘Beautiful Dreamer’ was released last year and features duets with Garrison. It’s a mixture of standards and covers, many of which had been performed on "A Prairie Home Companion." How did you go about choosing the songs for this record?
Garrison suggested that we sing on 'Wild Horses' a show we did together with a faster bluegrass feel and it was a blast. For the Duets project we pared it down a little more and I think it turned out really nice!
What is your favorite song to perform from the record?
How did you get your start in music?
I come from a very musical family. My mother is a classical pianist, music teacher, and church organist, my dad was the lead singer/guitarist for a country rock band for about 8 years in the 80s and I have 4 very musical siblings. So I was singing and listening to music very early on. My first experience performing was when I was about 8 years old. I attempted to sing a solo at church with my mother accompanying me on piano, but as she began to play the introduction, I suddenly got shy and ran downstairs crying. I'm still surprised when I think back to that awful morning that I became a professional musician!
'Red is the Rose'
Who were your earliest influences, and where do your influences come from today?
My earliest influences came from singing hymns and folk songs with my family, and then later I became totally immersed in the singing of Sarah Vaughn, Ella Fitzgerald, Ray Charles, and Bonnie Raitt, as well as the singing and songwriting of Joni Mitchell, Simon and Garfunkel, Neil Young and many more. These days so many artists influence me. To name a few: Lucinda Williams, Greg Brown, Iris Dement, Leslie Feist, Nancy King, Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton, Mississippi John Hurt, Gillian Welch, Eva Cassidy, Mahalia Jackson, Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Bob Dylan, Chet Baker, and many musicians and teachers I met while attending The New England Conservatory of Music.
'Light of a Clear Blue Morning'
Your group The Wailin' Jennys are known for the crisp vocal harmonies of the three lead voices along with great songwriting. How did you come to join the group?
I got a call from my good friend Aoife O'Donovan (who sings in the band Crooked Still). She told me about this great band that was looking for a new alto voice. Ruth and Nicky are mutual friends of Aoife and they had asked her for recommendations. Luckily, Aoife recommended me! So I went to Philadelphia to hear them perform and have an informal audition — it happened in the World Cafe's handicap women's bathroom to be exact. I loved their concert and they loved the music we made in the bathroom so we called it a deal!
Do you have a favorite memory of performing on the show?My grandfather Keith Clark was also a musician. He was a very esteemed trumpet player and always respected Wynton Marsalis' trumpet playing. I have so many incredible memories from performing on Prairie Home, but the one that sticks out in my mind was a moment while I was singing "Peel me a Grape" at Town Hall in NYC with Wynton Marsalis and the Shoe Band. There was a point in the middle of the song where time felt liked it stopped, and I looked around at the crowd and the unbelievable musicians I was playing with, and for a moment I felt my grandfather's presence looking down and smiling.
Were there any experiences of singing duets with Garrison Keillor or performing with the program's other guests that stand out?
We played an hour and a half encore at Tanglewood one summer. It was a magical night and the encore brought an amazing feeling of unity through the crowd and on stage. There were so many great moments singing with Garrison and the sea of a crowd on a freshly rained lawn with the night just falling on us all. It felt like we were all one big family (as cheesy as it sounds)!
What's next for you? Aside from the appearances with Garrison Keillor, will you be performing either solo or with the Wailin' Jennys? Tell us how to keep up with your appearances.

Take the step to secure your future—you’re not alone.
A few months ago, I fell victim to what I thought was a once in a lifetime opportunity. A so called investment expert convinced me to invest in a Bitcoin trading platform that promised incredible returns. The website looked professional, the representatives sounded legitimate, and I even saw fake dashboards showing my profits growing every day. Over the course of three weeks, I invested everything I had $190,000 my life savings, my emergency fund, and a loan I took out in desperation to maximize my returns. Then one day, the site vanished. No contact. No access. No answers. My stomach dropped. I felt like a complete fool. I couldn’t sleep, couldn’t eat, and didn’t know where to turn. My bank said there was nothing they could do. The police took a report, but I knew it wouldn’t go anywhere. I was emotionally and financially destroyed. Then I came across Malice Cyber Recovery. Honestly, I was skeptical. I had already been scammed once I didn’t think I could trust anyone again. But something told me to take the chance. They were patient, professional, and transparent from the very beginning. They explained how these scams work and, more importantly, how they track and recover stolen crypto through blockchain forensics. Weeks passed, and I started regaining hope. And then it happened they recovered nearly all of my funds. I cried. Not just for the money, but for the fact that someone actually fought for me. Malice Cyber Recovery gave me my life back. I’ll never be the same person again, but thanks to them, I can finally move forward. If you’re reading this and feeling hopeless don’t. There is a way back. Just don’t wait like I did.

Two years single in A, I’d poured my heart into crypto, converting 12,500 euros into Bitcoin to build a future. But a phishing scam disguised as a flirty email from a “naval officer”—stole it all. The blockchain confirmed the theft; my wallet was empty. Police were clueless, and loneliness amplified my despair. X posts warned of scams, but one mentioned Cyber Codex Revolution. Hesitant, I emailed [email protected]. They responded: “We’re forensic experts. Send the detail fees upfront. I shared the transaction hash and phishing email. Their team—hackers, coders, traced the BTC through mixers to a shady exchange. “We’ve got a trail,” they messaged. Using legal leverage and exchange partnerships, they froze the funds. After tense negotiations, my phone lit up: “BTC recovered. Check your wallet. My 12,500 euros returned, secure in a new wallet. Cyber Codex Revolution didn’t just save my savings; they restored my hope. Single or not, I learned trust in justice can outshine even the darkest scams.Now, I spread their name proof that in the wild crypto frontier, justice can still win.
