SILVER CITY – Missy and Heine Andersen, wife and husband, are the next performers in the Mimbres Region Arts Council 2019-2020 Indie/Folk series.

Listeners find a great appreciation for Missy’s gospel-tinged vocals and Heine’s blues- and Americana-inspired guitar work.

Missy Andersen was a popular performer at 2016 Silver City Blues Festival and has professed her love for Silver City. Missy received the coveted Blues Music Award nomination for Soul Blues Female Artist in 2015 and then again in 2016. Raised in Queens, New York, Missy grew up singing along to the blues, soul, and gospel music of her parents and grandparents. Says Missy, “My dad is from South Carolina and my mother is from Detroit so, basically, I’m bilingual. I speak North and South so that’s soul and blues.”

Originally from Denmark, but steeped in American Roots music, Heine Andersen has toured extensively in both Europe and North America, playing some of the most prestigious stages and festivals throughout his career. Noted for his polyrhythmic acoustic style, Heine plays lead and rhythm as well as bass lines simultaneously.

Missy and Heine Andersen will perform at the historic and intimate Buckhorn Opera House at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 25.
