Well hello everyone! It's been a LONG time, apparently, since I've posted anything here on SoundClick or posted any new music. A lot has happened over the last few years during my absence and I just wanted to update you guys. Yes, I have been on a roughly 6-year hiatus from music. My band, Poplar Road, disbanded completely in 2011/2012 and I joined another band, Stealing Dixie, for a short while before deciding I needed a break. Fast forward to 2018... I was missing music tremendously. I missed the stage...I missed performing...I missed writing...I missed YOU ALL! I had written a few songs over the course of those years and decided the best place to start was new music. I contacted local studio owner and producer, Gary DiBenedetto of Studio D, and went right to work. We produced two of my originals, "Rock Bottom" and "Mine" at the end of April 2018 and released the singles at the end of May 2018. In addition to that, I got back in contact with two of the original members of Poplar Road and we have resurrected Heather Ireland & Poplar Road as an acoustic trio (for the moment). There has been so much going on and moving in a positive direction. I feel so blessed and thankful to be able to do this again and to have so many people as excited (possibly even MORE excited) than I am about my return to the stage and my new music. I have attached the new songs to this blog post. I would love to hear feedback from you guys. Happy listening! Y'all take care now, ya hear! :D [media] [media]

Hey you guys! Long time no hear, huh? I apologize, but life has just been crazy as most of you can relate. Undoubtedly it has been quite a while. I thought it would be great to drop in and give all of you an update. As of a few months ago, I am now part of an acoustic duo. The other guy in which I play music with is Ronnie Avery, who is also a very talented singer/songwriter/guitarist from here in south Georgia. :) I hope to get into a studio soon to record some new material. I am sure you guys are tired of hearing the same old tunes. I am working hard to get things on the right track musically. I hope life finds each and everyone of you well today and I hope that the Thanksgiving holidays brought smiles to your faces. :) Thanks for everything you do and have done. Your support means everything to me. Take care and God Bless! Love Always, Heather Ireland =D

Hello everyone! It's been a while since I've been able to get on here. I just want to say thank you to everyone who has commented my page and my music. You guys really are the best. I'm doing everything I can to stay in touch and get back to those who have kept in touch! Bare with me! I love you guys! Keep up the great work and remember with God all things are possible! Take care and keep in touch! Love Always, Heather Ireland

Wow! I'm still learning how to work this site. Blogging is new to me so bare with me. I am really struggling right now at this point in my life. Everything is falling apart! I don't want to go into detail, but getting my songs into the hands of the right person at this point would get me out of the mess that unfortunately I was unlucky enough to be born into. So, if anyone out there wants to work with me as a songwriter (I'm not interested in singing my material.) or knows someone I could talk to or get in contact with I would greatly appreciate it. Good luck to everyone! All the best! Take care and God Bless! - Heather
