"Hanging with the Heatons"

Boston-based husband-and-wife duo Matt & Shannon Heaton (who performed at ICONS last year) are profiled in a short documentary, "Hanging with the Heatons," produced as part of a school project by Justin Bell and Christine Giordano. The film includes interviews with Matt and Shannon about their musical roots and the challenge (and joy) of sharing both lives and careers, as well as footage from their "Fine Winter's Night" CD release concert last December in Club Passim.
If you know the Heatons at all, or even if you don't, the film offers a terrific, and very charming, portrait of a couple who have quite deservedly become one of the more popular Irish-American acts to arrive on the scene during the past several years. You can view the film here.
