The Indigo Road

The Indigo Road featuring Heidi Jo Hines released their first single Simple this week. The single has been made BBC Radio Kent's Single of the Week. You can find out more about this stunning new band at www.theindigoroad.co.uk

�Simple is a beautiful acoustic track with an outstanding sound� Floatation Suite

�A striking single from the daughter of Denny Laine, peppered with stunning melodies, sky high and superbly crafted into something warm and absorbing.� Subba Cultcha

At five Heidi had her first taste of showbuisness when she appeared in the west end Musical 'Umbrellas of Cherbourg'. at 11. Her first proper gig was at the 1996 Woodstock festival where she sang with David Peel of the Lower Eastside (who played with John Lennon)This was a great experience and gave her a taste of what was her true passion, Singing live.

The band is completing new material at the moment with a view to releasing more singles over the summer ahead of a debut album planned for early in 2009.  Band founder and chief writer Mark Herbert has developed a plan for The Indigo Road which will see the band release double A side throughout the rest of 2008.

In 2002 Heidi answered an add in the Stage newspaper looking for singers and was picked to be in the all girl Rock/Electro band Nebula 101 .Their songs had airplay in the states and their Promo video featured on T4, but although successful , Heidi left as her heart was in rock n roll. Heidi wrote and recorded her first demo and gigged the London circuit for 2 years until she put together her own band called The HJH Band' their first gig was at the 'Gathering' at Royal Ascot. As well as having her band Heidi is also doing different projects with other artists, she has just recorded a song with Hugh McDowell (from ELO) 'the song was written by Dave Winstanley of the Classic Rock Society and will feature on an EP of Dave's songs which is being produced to raise funds for the Society.'

"What I love about marks songs is that they open up another part of me that's been hidden til now they're expressive and quirky and they allow me to explore my voice to other dimensions" explains Heidi

Mark Herbert picked up a guitar again in earnest a little over a year ago after a number of years working in the very different fields of international business and politics, environmental fund raising and education.  Since then he has been writing, recording and rehearsing with various musicians before stepping out on The Indigo Road.  His path in life has seen him achieve a business degree, an English degree and the teaching of English at the rough and elite end of the spectrum. Mixing band influences from Smashing Pumpkins to The Who on a band level and from Bowie to Costello on a songwriter level see the band deliver a diverse blend as seen in the current double A side.
