Heather Maloney
Indie-folk
With more than 1,000 international
shows and 8 studio albums under her belt, she is now on the brink of releasing
her 9th and most personal record to date, "Exploding Star" (out Jan 2025),
after which she'll embark on an international release tour throughout the US
and Europe.
On Heather's 2019 album, Soil
In The Sky, her "ability to channel emotion is radical" (PopMatters) and the
tracks are stacked with special guests who help her deliver an immense range of
sound and sentiment in 12 songs; there's a duet with Dawes front-man Taylor
Goldsmith and vocal harmonies by Lake Street Dive's Rachael Price. The all-star
band includes drummer Griffin Goldsmith (Dawes), and multiple members of the
Amos Lee band. The Bluegrass Situation called her 2015 release, Making Me
Break (produced by Band of Horses' Bill Reynolds) "an intoxicating blend that
captures the sonic texture of indie rock, the humanity of folk and the
spirituality of a Rumi poem." In 2014 she released "Woodstock", her
collaborative effort with Boston quartet Darlingside, which drew praise from
the New York Times and Graham Nash.
Heather's songs have played
on NPR stations across the country and her live appearances have aired on
syndicated programming like eTown and AudioTree. Her song "Nightstand Drawer"
was featured in the season finale of the CBS TV series "Elementary",
and her songs have also been streamed hundreds of thousands of times on
editorial Spotify playlists & Starbucks' in-store nationwide playlists.
As well as a songwriter and
performer, Heather is an illustrator and linocut artist who carves and prints
visual representations of her songs on a variety of mediums.
Heather has toured throughout
the US & Canada as a headliner and also in support of acts including Anais
Mitchell, Lake Street Dive, Shakey Graves, Gary Clark Jr., Rodrigo y Gabriela,
Colin Hay (Men at Work), Mary Chapin Carpenter, Shawn Colvin, Dar Williams and
many more.
