Heartless Bastards Hit on All the Emotions at Visulite Theatre
I never get tired of hearing Erika Wennerstrom of the Heartless Bastards sing. A native of Ohio, her voice bears some strong similarities to another Buckeye, Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders: deep and resonant, with a Midwestern non-accent that comes from being raised where the Midlands and Inland North American accent
Erika Wennerstrom has always translated her personal life journey and reflections into the music of the Heartless Bastards, the ever-evolving band she has fronted since 2003.
Erika Wennerstrom, lead singer and songwriter for the Austin-based band Heartless Bastards, may just have the perfect rock ‘n' roll voice. It's deep, powerful, and rich, with some similarity to another great singer originally from the Buckeye State, Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders.
