About the Event
HEATHER MALONEY IS A MASSACHUSETTS BASED SINGER-SONGWRITER AND WRITER-SONGSINGER. HER LATEST RECORD MAKING ME BREAK WAS PRODUCED BY BILL REYNOLDS (BAND OF HORSES, AVETT BROTHERS, LISSIE) AND FEATURES AN ALL-STAR BACKING BAND INCLUDING MEMBERS OF BAND OF HORSES (BILL REYNOLDS, TYLER RAMSEY), THE WALLFLOWERS, MY MORNING JACKET, AND . UPON THE RELEASE OF MAKING ME BREAK, MALONEY LANDED ON SPIN MAGAZINE’S “ARTIST TO WATCH”, WITH ENTHUSIASTIC REVIEWS FROM THE HUFFINGTON POST, CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND, AND NO DEPRESSION. THE LAST SONG ON THE RECORD, “NIGHTSTAND DRAWER”, BECAME MALONEY’S FIRST MAJOR TELEVISION SONG PLACEMENT ON THE CBS SERIES “ELEMENTARY”. RAISED ON A RECORD PLAYER INSTEAD OF A TV, MALONEY DUG DEEP INTO PER PARENTS’ RECORD COLLECTIONS FOR ENTERTAINMENT, OBSESSING OVER THE BEATLES JONI MITCHELL, FLEETWOOD MAC, C.S.N.Y., BOB DYLAN, AND MORE. SO IT’S NO SURPRISE THAT THE FOLK, POP, AND ROCK GREATS OF THE 60’S AND 70’S FOUND THEIR WAY INTO HER OWN MUSIC. WITH THOSE INFLUENCES AS A FOUNDATION, AND A STRONG DOSE OF 90’S RADIO HITS (FROM WOMEN LIKE FIONA APPLE, ALANIS MORISETTE, BONNIE RAITT, SHERYL CROW, AND OF COURSE, MARIAH CAREY), MALONEY WAS FORMING HER SOUND LONG BEFORE SHE EVEN WROTE A SINGLE LYRIC.
