	Composer and lyricist Heather McCluskey grew up in Southern California and has been a musician since she started piano lessons at the age of five. She began songwriting in her teens and began dabbling in what she now considers to be her forte, Musical Theater during her college days.


	For her senior project while attending California State University in San Bernardino, Heather wrote ‘The Legend of the Arrowhead’, a two act Broadway style musical based on the history of the area.


	The musical was recognized by the State of California and won the 1st Place Award for Creativity from the International Downtown Association. It was performed numerous times at the historic California Theater in San Bernardino, most recently at the 2010 bicentennial celebration for the city.

Since moving to beautiful Northeast Georgia in 2006 she has written ’The Legends of Franklin County’ for the Lavonia, Georgia DDA and in conjunction with Community Performance International, has composed the music for ten folk-life plays throughout the Southeastern United States, including the Land of Spirit - Georgia, Salkehatchie Stew - South Carolina, Just Home in the Mountains - North Carolina, Celery Soup - Florida and Jonesborough Yarn Exchange - Tennessee.
