From the heart of Atlanta’s thriving music scene, HeyDreamer emerges as a three-piece rock powerhouse, defining their own sonic landscape with hook-laden melodies, tight vocal harmonies, and electrifying live performances. Front and center is Melody Kiser, a captivating lead guitarist with a voice that can act as both a force of nature and a soulful velvet whisper. Melody’s fingers dance across the frets, weaving intricate melodies and blistering guitar solos, while her vocals soar with an intensity that echoes the spirit of legendary rock n’ roll titans. Beyond her instrumental and vocal mastery, Melody is the poetic soul and creative force behind HeyDreamer, crafting songs that resonate with authenticity.
Anchoring the band’s sound with deep, resonant grooves is bassist Dustin Williams. Grounded in the roots of funk, jazz, and rock, Dustin brings a virtuosic flavor to HeyDreamer’s sonic palette, transforming each composition into a rhythmic odyssey. Driving the heartbeat of HeyDreamer is Dylan Hansen, whose musical journey isn’t just about hitting the drums, but is a narrative of exploration, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to the craft. With a deep understanding of the power of rhythm, Dylan continues to evolve as a rhythmic force, leaving an indelible mark on every composition he touches.
In February of 2020, HeyDreamer released their debut album, If You’re Out There. The band were the first group signed to Real 2 Reel Productions, a company owned and operated by Will Turpin, bassist and co-founder of the international supergroup Collective Soul. Turpin describes HeyDreamer as “young, extremely talented, and serious about their musical endeavors.”
In the summer of 2021, HeyDreamer launched and completed a successful fan-funded Kickstarter campaign to support the costs associated with launching their second album, Dances in Wonderland. The follow-up album was released in March of 2022, followed by an East Coast tour. HeyDreamer are currently writing, recording, and performing in 2024.
