Winnsboro, Texas (Top40 Charts/ Travelin' Girl Productions) Heather McCready's sweet voice, peaceful music and message of hope as a suicide prevention advocate fell quiet after the creative folk singer/songwriter began to feel unwell just before her Christmas CD was released last year. In addition to ongoing treatment for bipolar disorder, depression anxiety, Heather McCready also suffers from Fibromyalgia and an autoimmune disorder causing her to suffer symptoms that have proven to be a real challenge for the singer such as bouts of throat swelling, asthma, anemia and severe problems with memory. In fact, her illness forced her to cancel her performances and take six months to rest and work closely with doctors to help her recover. Now, Heather McCready is feeling stronger and ready to get back on the stage and do what she loves to do most, sing her uniquely peaceful brand of folk music and spread her message of hope to others. And what better place for her to return to the stage than a concert that benefits causes near and dear to her heart? Heather will be performing alongside her producer/ arranger,Milo Deering, a well known virtuoso and highly sought-after studio musician who has played on literally hundreds of CD's. Milo's gifted hand can be heard on many singer's and songwriter's albums, most notably Lee Ann Rimes, Jack Ingram, Steve Holy, Trout Fishing in
America and Slim Whitman. Milo has appeared as a member of Blue Country (Ms. Rimes band) on The
Tonight Show, The Today Show, The Grammy Awards,
David Letterman, The Billboard
Music Awards, Nashville Now, The TNN Awards and The View. Most recently Milo was in the popular bluegrass band, Bealtegras, and has been playing with Heather McCready.
