Solar Hearts

Bio

Solar Hearts is the brainchild of songwriter and vocalist Christopher Hewat, who’s been performing original feel-good-folk-pop from early days in New England to subsequent years spanning both coasts. Landing most recently in Asheville, NC, he’s been playing live shows from New York to L.A., to wide swaths of NC and VA.

Christopher continues to pull from his roots of being steeped in classic rock, folk, and Mowtown soul, with what emerges as unique and familiar; garnering comparisons to John Mayer, Jack Johnson, and Jason Mraz. Over the years he’s performed supporting artists including: The Connells, Juliana Hatfield, 4NonBlondes, and Tim Reynolds’ TR3.

He continues to perform solo and full band shows. With song placements in film and tv; including guest vocals on Together We Will Run, by Somer,  featured on Love Is Blind (Netflix), and Amber Brown (AppleTV).
