William Pearson's
Heart of the West
A music project celebrating Oklahoma’s people, history, and spirit.
About the Project
Heart of the West is more than music! It’s a project that celebrates Oklahoma’s history, diversity, and communities through sound and storytelling.
Created by William “Bill” Pearson and brought to life by a collective of tenured musicians and educators, the project blends blues, jazz, country, Hispanic, Black, and Native American influences into a powerful body of work. Each song is dedicated to a different community in Oklahoma, honoring the stories, struggles, and beauty that make this state unique.
Our mission is to preserve history, spark connection, and inspire pride in Oklahoma’s cultural richness... one song at a time.
