"I consider Heather Ferris right along the likes of other up and coming female Bluegrass artists like Donna Hughes and Becky Buller, both of which also write and perform their own songs. The instrumentalists on this album are stand up musicians, including her young son Dylan who is one of those kids that can pick up anything and make music with it." Uncle Billy Dunbar, "Country Unplugged Bluegrass Radio", K-107 FM and KG98 FM, Central Iowa and on World Wide Bluegrass.
"Ties that Bind" was released on May 26, 2006 and marks the debut of Heather Ferris as a recording artist in the bluegrass music scene. Of the ten songs on the album, nine are written by Heather. The instrumental is written by John Reischman. Heather's son Dylan was 11 when the album was recorded and he plays mandolin on the instrumental, Nesser.
The musicians on the album are John Reischman (mandolin, mandola), Jim Nunally (guitar), Trisha Gagnon (bass and harmony vocals), Greg Spatz (fiddle) and Nick Hornbuckle (banjo and guitar), Dylan Ferris (mandolin). Producer: Nick Hornbuckle.
