Coming out of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Heat Preacher blends the musical styles of alternative rock, soul, and indie, to create their own brand of modern music. They often work on ideas at the beginning of their rehearsals, and these loose improvisations set the foundations for the group's songs. JD often brings the hooks, and the rest of the band supply the structures and arrangements. Up to this point, the guys have agreed that their time together is akin to being "a winning team in the local bowling league." While the team has the drive and talent to take Heat Preacher to the big leagues, they agree that they want to do that on their own terms and in their own time, especially since they are all very family-oriented. 

As it was with almost every indie artist or band, much of the momentum Heat Preacher had built leading up to 2020 was derailed by the pandemic. It would be a full year until they could play another show or record new music. Now, they are poised tor release a batch of singles throughout the back half of 2022, which were recorded and mixed by Al Jacob at Warrior Sound. 

Heat Preacher has shared the stage with bands and artists such as Eyelids, North by North, Reese McHenry, Travel Horse, The Gone Ghosts, Texoma, Mega Colossus, Solar Halos, and Youth League. The compatibility of Heat Preacher's music with almost any style of indie-rock is evidenced by their ability to fit in on almost any live music bill. 

Heat Preacher's near term goals are to release and promote their upcoming singles, play some killer live shows close-to-home, and hopefully hit the road in 2023 for an east coast tour and some festival dates. Heat Preacher looks forward to playing a show near you, and sharing their new (some old at this point) songs as they drop!
