Original music artist APRIL HIGUERA has performed on national primetime and cable television and many well-known stages in NYC, Nashville, Los Angeles … and currently living and performing in the Reno/Tahoe area of NV/CA.

April considers her genre to be Americana Rock, connecting the musicality of acclaimed Americana/Country/Folk artist Sheryl Crow to the legendary classic rock band Heart, along with some material on the fringe. KOZZ 105.7 Reno’s classic rock radio host Max Volume characterized April’s songs and vocals as “timeless.”

April’s high-octane range-driven vocal performances have been characterized as “powerful, yet vulnerable," and likened to Ann Wilson of Heart, Kelly Clarkson, and Paula Cole, by industry professionals and peers. April’s vision of writing songs with a universal message of living authentically and honoring oneself and others has remained unshakable over the years. Her songs have been broadcast on mainstream radio, and are currently airing on television, online radio, and in European retail environments and have been charted in the Top 10 on SoundClick.com and Women Of Substance Radio on Live365.com. 

In addition to performing her original music, April fronts Reno’s premier high-energy classic hard rock cover band Sierra Roc, as well as partners with Sheldon Felich in their 70’s popular folk/soft rock/country acoustic duo April & Sheldon.
