Heyman first arrived on the music scene with Go to Blazes, which was formed in the D.C. area in the late '80s by a quartet of college buddies. The group released its debut in 1988, and shortly after relocated to Philadelphia. Heyman's blistering guitar attack was a central component of the band's sound. Under the tutelage of producer Eric Ambel and with a deal from the record label ESD, the group released its strongest albums in the mid-'90s, receiving acclaim in alt-country and roots rock circles. In the late '90s, with their label dividing, Go to Blazes petered out. Besides moving on to do solo work, Heyman has been a member of Map of Wyoming, who released their debut, Round Trip, in 1998. (That group consists of former members of Flying Color and ex-Translator Larry Dekker.) Heyman was also brought on board -- along with former Flying Burrito Brother and late-period Byrd Gene Parsons -- for the Court Spark's 2001 album Bless You. ~ Erik Hage, Rovi
