Heather Heather Rocks Bensalem, Set to Support Safe Sidewalks Tonight at Dairy Delite

Saturday night at Currans in Bensalem local rock/soul artist Heather Heather took to the stage and as usual put on a show as she and “Uncle” Jeff Zambino only can.

Heather’s   perfect pitch performance during the first set of the three set show at the mood laden bar in Bensalem is not something you find on the local artist scene consistently.  Add the soaring vocal styling’s to Zambino’s powerful  electrified acoustical attack and you begin to understand why Heather Heather is  serious contender to be gobbled up someday by a label.

From a burning version of Alanis Morrisette’s “You Oughta Know” to their own “Sweet, Sweet Summertime” and all in between,  the audience was in harmony with the rock acoustical duo.

The songstress’  self-deprecating approach and lack of ego, connects her to the audience she  making  Heather Heather a must see.

On a more serious note, Heather Heather will be donating their rocking melodious  talents tonight  as part of a fundraiser for the Sidewalks for New Falls Road effort at Dairy Delite in Levittown.

Heather said it was important for her to play the event because “she was close to” John J. Rearick the victim of a fatal hit-and run on New Falls Rd. last July.

When I was in high school I worked as a counselor at a local day camp  and was  JJ’s  counselor, she said.

“This means a lot to Uncle Jeff and I and this is the best way we can help the Rearick family and the sidewalks effort, said the vocalist

Rearick,  succumbed to his injuries days later.

Sharon Rearick, spurred on by her son’s death  formed  grass-roots based coalition, now called Sidewalks Are For Everyone (SAFE) to have safe pedestrian walk ways constructed on what’s been called one of the most dangerous roadways in Bucks County by officials.

“JJ used to come by and visit me at work, he was a great guy. And if Jeff and I can help the Rearick’s in any way, we’re there no questions asked,” the songstress said.

Dave Scott, owner of the popular Dairy Delite said last night he’s known the family for a long time and recognizes New Falls Road has always been a dangerous place for pedestrians.

“We fully support the Rearick’s and Sidewalks in their effort. Plus Heather mentored John when he was younger” so its natural for us to want to support the idea, he said.

In addition Dairy Delite staff working the event tonight have volunteered to do so for free.

In addition to the live performance by Heather Heather there will be a 50-50 raffle with prizes donated by a number of community business’s and organizations among other planned activities for tonight. Additionally the Edgely Firehouse  will  be showing off its antique fire truck also.

Dairy Delite is located at 7504 Rt 13 in Levittown.
