Make It Through gives perspective on hard times being an opportunity to experience, endure and grow. “When times get hard I get harder until I make it through.”

Make It Through

Luckhart isn't afraid to tell it like it is, and sometimes people need to learn their own lessons. Whether exhausted by the endless pursuit of equality - or from one's own healing journey, this song is a tribute to personal growth. "You carry your load, and I'll carry mine," she pleads over a deliciously swampy minor groove. 
 
"Too Tired" features a blues rock-drenched solo from legendary Canadian musician/producer Vezi Tayyeb and sprinkles of wurly throughout from pianist Attila Fias. The call-and-answer segments give a nod to live performances while flexing what Toronto's iconic studio Kensington Sound can do.

Too Tired

"Let It Out Like" is Luckhart's fourth and final single from her forthcoming LP, to be released January 2023. This frangible, vulnerable yet optimistic song is very sing-along-able. It features the Juno-nominated Alison Young on saxophone, crossing coffee-house, singer-songwriter, blue-eyed soul, blues, and jazz-folk genres.
lyrics
There are times in our lives when the weight of the world is sitting on top of our minds.

And no matter how we try, we can’t find a way to satisfy - but we gotta try!

Gotta let it go like - smoke from my lungs
Gotta let it go like - water drying in the sun
And though I never meant to hurt anyone
Wel,l I can’t stop now - gotta let it out 
Gotta let it out like - Oh oh oh oh

I know you’re feeling worry 
Got some dust on my shoes, so I hope you can trust me 
Oh, I know that life can get so heavy but just stay with me now
Sing it with me now

Let It Out Like

Bringing my arrangement of this timeless sentiment through the musical time machine was an honour. I am proud to share what we’ve done with this beautiful song, written by Stephen Foster in 1854. To me, the lyrics feel as relevant today as ever.

Here's what my friend and producer Vezi had to say about it.

“This is one of my favourite songs from Heather’s album. Her heartfelt vocals truly shine in this performance of a timeless classic. The perfect song choice for the times and for her soulful voice.”

Hard Times Come Again No More

Luckhart’s connection to the blues is one she has earned. She has a passion for her community, which is evident through her social media influencer status on Instagram [2021 People’s Choice award winner, NOW Magazine’s Best Account], personality at Canada Rocks Media and SEEROCKLIVE Magazine, her monthly blues jam at Mandy’s Bistro in Toronto, collaborations, feature-focused performances, mentorship programs with at-risk youth, and her genuine and welcoming approach to everyone she encounters. Her debut single "Make It Through", also the title of her upcoming LP, is a song about survival. "Make It Through" is a blues album with gospel, rock and jazz influences. These ten original tracks and two arrangements of classic standards are all centred around perseverance and strength. Heather's music is vulnerable, but strong, a message of support to others and a call to action for herself. It's Luckhart's fiery spirit that has helped her Make It Through life's challenges and she is proud to share that spirit in this album. Get ready for Luckhart's debut - she is coming out hot!
