Katie and James' musical journey began 15 years ago at an open mic in Wrexham, where they instantly connected over their shared love for music (and the TV series 'The Office'!). Fast forward 7 years, and they tied the knot, solidifying their bond both personally and musically.
However, it wasn't until just over three years ago, during the challenging times of lockdown, that they truly delved into collaborative songwriting. This rekindling of their shared passion sparked the birth of Igloo Hearts, a musical project that fuses their distinct musical backgrounds into an harmonious blend.
At the core of Igloo Hearts' sound are classical piano, fingerpicking guitar, and rich close harmonies, creating a unique sonic tapestry that resonates with audiences. Their discography includes 10 studio produced singles, going back to their first 2020 release "Without You", up to their latest 2024 release, "Watering Can," which reflects their ability to craft emotionally resonant narratives through music.
Despite their relatively short time as Igloo Hearts, they've already made waves in the music scene, performing at prestigious venues, such as the Liverpool Philharmonic and Llangollen International Eisteddfod. They have also recently worked collaboratively with Wrexham Choir and George 'Guitar' Borowski in a celebration of peace for World Peace Day. For this special concert they wrote and performed a piece of music ('Love's Where We Begin'), with lyrical input from the choir members, at St Giles Church, Wrexham (one of the Seven Wonders Of Wales).
Their live shows are an immersive experience, where audiences are guaranteed to feel a range of emotions, including a goosebump or two! With their debut album on the horizon, set for release in the Autumn, Igloo Hearts are poised to further enchant listeners with their heartfelt melodies and soul-stirring performances.
