Before she was a touring musician\, Maloney spent three years living and studying at a meditation center\, days steeped in silence and the teachings of poets and seekers. That stillness shaped her artistic voice—one that combines the emotional depth of Joni Mitchell with the inward-looking precision of Rilke and the narrative resonance of Zen parables. Today\, with over 1\,000 performances across the U.S. and Europe and eight studio albums to her name\, Maloney stands on the edge of releasing her most personal record to date. Written in the wake of her father’s death\, Exploding Star began as a private act of grief—songs Heather never planned to record. But the people who knew her best heard something extraordinary in them. So she stepped back into her abandoned childhood home and tracked the first two days of the record there\, playing her father’s guitar and capturing the sounds\, memories\, and ghosts that shaped her earliest years. What emerged is a collection of 12 songs that are both celebratory and devastating\, moving through emotional landscapes that range from lush to spare\, urgent to quietly trembling. Produced by Don Mitchell of Darlingside\, with arrangements by High Tea’s Isabella DeHerdt and Isaac Eliot\, the album is a sweeping\, intimate journey—woven with bold lyricism\, surprising lightness\, and Maloney’s fearless willingness to look grief directly in the face. Her past work has drawn major acclaim: PopMatters praised her “radical ability to channel emotion” on Soil in the Sky Her duet with Taylor Goldsmith (Dawes) and a feature by Rachael Price (Lake Street Dive) showcase her wide-reaching musical community Folk legend Jay Ungar appears on “Oklahoma Lullaby” The Bluegrass Situation called Making Me Break “an intoxicating blend” of indie rock\, folk humanity\, and Rumi-like spirituality Her collaboration with Darlingside on Woodstock earned praise from The New York Times and Graham Nash. Her songs have been featured on NPR\, eTown\, AudioTree\, and in the CBS series Elementary\, and she has toured with Lake Street Dive\, Gary Clark Jr.\, Mary Chapin Carpenter\, Dar Williams\, Colin Hay\, Shakey Graves\, and many more. In addition to her music\, Maloney is also a gifted illustrator and linocut artist\, carving visual interpretations of her songs that mirror the emotional landscapes of her work. SAMPLE SONG Heather Maloney’s music doesn’t just tell a story—it invites you inside it. This is a night of truth\, tenderness\, and transcendent songwriting you won’t want to miss. Opening for and playing with Heather\, is High Tea\, the folk-punk duo hailing from Massachusetts. High Tea is the explosive creation of a story-spinning blues guitarist and a harmony-obsessed punk. Isabella DeHerdt and Isaac Eliot have come together to fill spaces with homegrown storytelling and raucous\, booming vocals. Their songs are ripe with existential angst\, weaving tales of growing up\, going wild\, and always coming back to the ones you love. ​​Stream this show live at Caffè Lena TV.
