Miss Heidi Nirk (Lead Vocals) Miss Heidi has an inimitable voice and style all of her own. She is “considerably versatile, infused with the old school spirit of Bessie Smith and self-assured defiance of Janis Joplin” (as quoted by Mark Harriman, Boston Sports Deck, 2011). She sings the blues like she’s lived a few decades on the Delta, said former band mate Tim Lindsey, of the Blue F.O.s. Miss Heidi has performed various venues throughout her tenure in blues music including as lead singer of Killer Kane and the Blue F.O.’s lead by harpist James “Killer” Kane from 2003 – 2006. She has also been featured at spectacular Rhode Island hosted events such as the Woonsocket, RI Autumnfest, the Stadium Theater, Chans Egg Rolls & Jazz Series, the Union Station Blues Festival, and the Newport Blues Festival. Recordings Killer Kane and the Blue F.O.s, LP Done Your Time, recorded in 2003; Creekside Rhapsody (CD), a compilation of songs based on the folk-poetry of Mark Flanagan, recorded in 2003.
