Wishing Chair - The Band

The Band

Heartwood and Davidson met at a music camp in Ontario, where both worked as counselors. After performing together at a faculty recital, Heartwood invited Davidson to perform on her next solo album. By the end of the recording process, the two decided to form a band together, and Singing With the Red Wolves was released under the band name Wishing Chair.

In 2001, they met trad-folk musician Kara Barnard while performing at the National Women's Music Festival in Muncie, Indiana. They performed a few sets together, and due to the enthusiastic reaction of the audience, they decided to record an album. Dishpan Brigade was released two years later.

Currently, Wishing Chair still tours occasionally though out the year. Miriam Davidson is the director of the Anna Crusis Women's Choir in Philadelphia and Kiya Heartwood is touring solo and with Christa Hillhouse from 4 Non Blondes. Heartwood lives in Austin, TX. Her latest solo CD is entitled "Bold Swimmer" and came out in 2012.
