Heath Fain -Lead Vocals & Acoustic Guitar
Born and raised in St. Albans WV, Heath enjoys the outdoors and the mountains of his home state. Originally a drummer Heath has played in several bands throughout his life. From punk to rock to country if there was a chance to get behind a drum set he was looking for it, Heath has always written lyrics and dabbled in poetry. About 7 years ago he began to place some of those lyrics to music on an acoustic guitar. Since that time he found himself slowly moving forward from the drum seat to the front seat. With influences ranging from Mick Jager to Rob Thomas to Scott Wieland he continues to explore his place as the front man of Reality Awakes...
