"A rare combination of grit and sensitivity." — Vancouver Sun, BC

Guitar and percussion duo Karen Savoca and Pete Heitzman have toured North America, captivating audiences with their rich groove and soulful songwriting.

Savoca possesses a rare vocal presence defined by easy confidence and emotional warmth. Her songs blend humor, sensuality, and simple pleasures, often delivered with a playful lyricism that lights up the room. Combined with her tight, in-the-pocket drumming and Heitzman’s deft, virtuoso guitar work, the duo captures the expansive presence of a four-piece band.

Beyond the stage, Savoca & Heitzman are independent record producers, film scorers, eight-time SAMMY Award winners for songwriting and performance, and inductees in the SAMMY Hall of Fame.

— “Melodic songs that probe the mysteries of the heart and soul. One of the most breathtaking performances I’ve ever experienced.” ” — Willamette Weekly, Portland, OR
