Heather Mae isn’t just writing songs—she’s writing revolutions. A Nashville-based, award-winning artist-activist, Mae blends alt-rock grit, indie-pop hooks, and folk storytelling to create anthems of mental health, queer liberation, and radical joy. Her powerful live shows—part concert, part communal catharsis—are often described as “church without the religious trauma,” transforming any room into a space of healing and belonging.

In 2025, Mae will release WHAT THEY HID FROM ME (alternative) and kiss & tell (pop)—a genre-defying double album created entirely by women and nonbinary collaborators. Together, these records form a bold concept project: part reckoning, part rebellion. WHAT THEY HID FROM ME is a raw, unflinching rallying cry for those reclaiming their truth—exploring themes of religious trauma, survival, and identity. kiss & tell is its glittering counterpart: a celebration of queer joy, sensuality, and the freedom of living unapologetically.

Named Artist-Activist of the Year by the Northeast Regional Folk Alliance and winner of the Rocky Mountain Folks Fest Songwriter Showcase, Mae isn’t just imagining the future of social justice music—she’s leading it. Her work is defiant, hopeful, and utterly unignorable.
