Warren Jackson Hearne is a nationally touring singer, multi-instrumentalist, and finger-style guitarist who writes original music blending Southern, folk, experimental,  jazz, and blues. He has been crafting his style from the music traditions of his upbringing and the more diverse sounds he has absorbed from loving music of all kinds. Hearne has spent decades refining a style that the Great Falls Tribune calls 'one of the most original folk musicians working today."

Warren was born to exceptionally musical parents, Lindy and Lynda Hearne. The Hearnes started Warren on music early, enrolling him in piano lessons at age four, continuing musical training in Memphis playing drums while spending formative hours in the control room at Ardent Studios where his father recorded. Lynda relocated to Montana, and through Warren’s schooling in Missoula, he joined the marching band and eventually found the guitar. By fifth grade, he was playing violin, bass, clarinets, and saxes, leading him to begin composing his own songs at age 15.  

In the early 2000's, he moved to Denton, TX, where he recorded several solo albums and founded the all-acoustic ensemble "Warren Jackson Hearne and the Merrie Murdre of Gloomadeers." The Gloomadeers played festivals, toured the country, and released “Rusalka Songs” followed by "Grave Ambitions" in the first decade of the new millennium.  In 2012, he released "Eleutheros!" with a new band and electric instruments, morphing the sound to encompass more of the music he and his band mates love.  

The Dallas Observer noted that 'everything Warren Jackson Hearne touches turns to gold', frequently nominating his solo work, projects, and collaborators for awards. If folk music is defined as either a type of traditional music that is passed down through families or as Mike Seeger puts it “all the music that fits between the cracks,” then Hearne is comfortable with that category.  

He is working on a new solo album, an album for a new band, and longer pieces for theater and other multi-media projects. You can bet that all of these projects will strike the listener as different from the norm, for as the Denton Record-Chronicle says, "everything about him is authentically and uniquely him."
