8:30 PM : Brandon Heath

Brandon Heath in the award-winning artist’s life. Shortly after he started work on the new 12-track collection - his second LP with Centricity Music - his mother entered palliative care. Knowing a goodbye was imminent, the Platinum-selling singer found himself wrestling with a certain ache he’s experienced only a few times in his life. He first felt the sensation shortly after his parents divorced when he was three. While his single mom worked, he spent a lot of time at a babysitter’s house, and Heath vividly recalls a patch of grass in her yard where he could see a motel in the distance where his father was employed.
“My dad was figuring things out. He had left us and started a new life with a different family,” Heath remembers. “If I stood in this one spot in the backyard, I could see the sign for Howard Johnson’s in the distance. And sometimes, I would just go over and stand by the fence, and I would see that sign and wonder what my dad was doing. I would just long for him. There was this physical feeling in my chest, and I’ve only felt it for a few people my whole life.”
That familiar ache returned as he watched his mom live out her final days. After his dad passed away in 2017, one month before his first daughter was born, the compounded loss of another parent felt all the more life-altering as an only child.
