Sixteen-year-old Heather Faulkner has been asked to perform at the prestigious “A Tennessee Waltz,” the annual fundraising event for the Tennessee State Museum. The black tie event will take place on Saturday, April 18^th at the Hermitage Hotel and the Tennessee State Capitol. 

Hosted by Governor Bill Haslam and First Lady Crissy Haslam, and sponsored by The Jack Daniel Distillery, this elegant fundraising event provides the primary source of revenue for the annual operation of the museum Foundation. Award-winning female vocalist, Connie Smith will also perform at the event, covering the classic ballad “Tennessee Waltz” for which the gala is named.

Faulkner is a talented 16-year-old singer/songwriter who attends Brentwood High School in the Greater Nashville area and writes attention garnering music between homework and passing her driver’s test.  She has been generating a huge buzz since she was featured in the popular multi-platform series, “Waking Up In America.”  

The gifted young performer currently is an artist in residence at Valentino’s in Nashville, and has been privileged to perform for the IndieCares Concert Series, the Hollywood Meets Nashville Grammy Benefit Gala and the Women In Film & Television Spring event.  She is scheduled to go into the studio this spring with Johnny Garcia (Trisha Yearwood) to record her debut CD!
