New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ PLA Media) Broadway extraordinaire and classically-trained tenor Andrew Heller is having chart topping success since the release of his latest album Reach Out.
Not one, but two tracks off the project are making headlines on the Inspirational Country Chart, with My Friend coming in at #24 and Local Call to
Heaven hitting the #80 spot. The success of his singles only continues, as his latest tune Devil Women debuted on the Country Chart at #69.
Originally written by acclaimed songwriter Ervin
Drake for Frank Sinatra, Local Call to
Heaven captures Heller's ability to connect eloquent lyrics with smooth sweeping vocal lines, creating a unique mixture of old meets new.
Known for his powerful yet soothing vocals, Andrew Heller's latest album, the inspirational country effort Reach Out, is quickly becoming a much celebrated achievement. Produced by the Grammy-award winning Eric Paul, Reach Out fostered an array of successful tunes for Heller. His first single, a relationship ballad titled The Way The Wind Blows climbed the FMQB AC Chart and eventually hit the #10 spot, beating out country favorite
Taylor Swift at the time. His noteworthy title track Reach Out, which encourages listeners to "reach out" and share their love with someone or something, also held the #18 spot on the Christian Country Chart.
Before performing his chart-topping hits on stages across the world from symphony halls to presidential inaugurations, Heller was an IBM Fellow and led IBM's Independent Business Unit that created the RS6000 line and Unix (AIX) product lines as president. Today, Heller and his wife own and operate DiamonDisc, a record label that distributes Andrew Heller's projects and a catalog of recordings by Charlie McCoy, Willie Nelson, Don Cherry and the late Boots Randolph. Over the years, Heller has appeared with orchestras as varied as the Austin Symphony, the Philadelphia Philharmonic, and the iconic Western Swing band The
Texas Playboys. Heller was a 2010 nominee for Entertainer of the Year by the Inspirational Country
Music Association.
