Round 3 of Field Notes - today we’re shining a spotlight on Haley Heynderickx, the Portland-based singer-songwriter...
Who...
Heynderickx draws from many influences, citing her religious Filipino-American upbringing, ‘60s and ’70s folk music, and the idiosyncratic acoustic guitar styles of Leo Kottke and John Fahey. All of which find their way into her music, pairing deft fingerpicking with lyrics that flirt with levity but hew toward introspection.
