Dedicated to delivering the best in country music, Heart n Soul is a band of veteran musicians and performers who have been active in the music scene for many years. They have a blast playing music together, and it shows with their energetic and entertaining presence onstage!

Colorado when she was in middle school. Her first memory of being onstage is
when she was five years old, singing “Ben” by the Jackson Five for an event in
her church’s basement meeting hall.
She has been onstage ever since, as a singer performing in musical theater
productions and show choirs, and as a keyboard player and singer in rock, blues, and Dixieland bands.
Landri is a singer-songwriter. She has written and performed her music for special events in Northern Colorado. She shares her love of performing and writing music with her students in her teaching studio in Fort Collins.
Landri is blessed to have 4 amazing adult children who are all musicians, and two adorable grandchildren. She loves to be outdoors, active, and is excited to play music with her good friends in Heart n Soul!
From 2001- 2011 Heidi was one of the lead singers in a band called “GunnPoint” which performed across the country at City wide outreaches and Major Rodeo events. The GunnPoint band was recognized for their vocal and musical talents and they won awards such as “Duo of the Year”, “Vocal Group’ and “Band of the year” in the Inspirational Country Music Association arena. They were very fortunate to be able to play on the Grand Ole Opry (the Ryman) back in 2005 and perform one of their songs. The group recorded two CD’s including their Live at the Rialto CD called “A Colorado Christmas” and a duet CD called “If I were you.”
Getting back to their roots, Cheri and Heidi put together this eclectic band of talented musicians and vocalists in the fall of 2023 and started a band called "Heart n Soul country”. They're looking forward to playing great music and bringing joy and fun back into all our lives.
Heidi was a certified laser tech and licensed Esthetician for many years and is now working for a very innovative Health and Wellness Technology company called "Lifewave" teaching others about the amazing benefits of Photo Therapy.
Heidi and her husband Jim have 5 wonderful adult children and 8 active grandchildren who thankfully all live close by.
Budd's musical journey began at a 1989, 8th grade talent show where he belted out the Trogg's classic "Wild Thing", to a fever pitched, pre-teen crowd. From that moment, his love for playing music has only grown and today, Budd is stocked to be a part of Heart n Soul Country Band.
Budd is a singer, songwriter and guitarist with a deep rooted love for finding new ways to make meaning through music. In June of 2023, Budd along with his real-life family, The Bronco Brothers & Sisters released their second "Y'all-ternative" album "Where there is Smoke".
Budd has performed all across Northern Colorado - rocking with "The Ailments" and strumming with a Folk/Americana group, "Dad Band". Influenced by so many legendary songwriters and guitarists, Budd crafts a unique sound that bridges the gap between old-school classics and contemporary Country, Rock and Jazz music.
Outside the limelight, Budd is a family man, sharing life in Fort Collins with his wife and having fun as a proud Girl Dad. His brilliant teenage daughter routinely schools him in skiing, mountain biking, archery, and tennis- providing that reality check rockstars so clearly need! :)

Clarke Wright has been playing music in some form or another since
sometime in the last century. OK, way back in the last century…!
He spent many years with The Hollywood Rodeo Band and later their
pared down acoustic version, High, Wide and Handsome. HRB/HWH
recorded 7 albums and toured extensively, visiting over 40 nations and
territories, entertaining our nation’s Armed Forces.
If you ask Clarke how long he has been playing fiddle he will tell you,
“Long enough to where you would say, ‘Wow, shouldn’t you be better
than that by now?’”
He picked up the fiddle ‘sometime back in the 20th Century’ and is selftaught.
“When I hit a wrong note or clam-out a break I just blame my
teacher,” Clarke says.
Clarke lives in Northern Colorado. He plays with many bands including
The Charlie Steven's Band, Blue Grama, Casey James Prestwood and
the Burning Angels, Ain't From Here, The Stanleytones, and most
notably Stardust Melodies (with Clarke and Beth Wright). He is known
as a go-to-guy in the fiddling world. Whether it’s four or five string
fiddle, Bluegrass, Western Swing, Country, Jazz and more, his bow is
rosined and ready.
