The Heather Hayes Experience

To help us celebrate our 30th Anniversary in style, we've invited The Heather Hayes Experience to provide entertainment at the Saturday Night Gala. Heather is the daughter of legendary soul singer, songwriter, actor and music producer Isaac Hayes.

While under the tutelage of her father and music greats like the “Godfather Of Soul”, James Brown, Heather honed her skills as an entertainer. Her live performances and vocals have been compared to Aretha Franklin, Regina Bell, Tina Turner, Chaka Khan and Janet Jackson. Heather has worked as a singer for artists such as Beyonce Knowles and Arrested Development, danced for Michael Jackson, Sean P. Diddy Combs and Brian McKnight and danced and choreographed stage shows for James Brown.

In the spring of 2004 Heather formed The Heather Hayes Band with four of Atlanta’s most seasoned musicians. The guys have many impressive credits of their own and have recorded and toured around the world with artists like Madonna, Cameo, Bobby Brown, George Clinton, India Arie and Whitney Houston.

Heather has taken the crowd-pleasing formula of her professional experience and combined it with a soul-stirring band to create an experience that will be an awesome ending to this year's Ballooniversity. This is one event you don’t want to miss!
