The Linda WAMC's Performing Arts Studio

New England singer-songwriter Heather Maloney launches her first ever multimedia, interactive live concert experience. Heather has written dozens of brand new, unreleased songs over the past year. Join in the immersive audio-visual PROJECTOUR, where throughout each show the lyrics to each new song will be projected behind her as she plays, as well as a mood-board style vintage art inspired by the stories and characters in the new material. At the end of each show the audience can vote for their favorite songs via the physical “ballad box”, or by tweeting their favorite songs with the hashtag #HEATHERSPROJECTOUR . Each vote helps determine what songs will appear on heather’s next full-length LP.
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 Darlingside.
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”.
As a Signature Sounds artist, Maloney has toured nationally as a headliner as well as in support of acts like Lake Street Dive, Rodrigo Y Gabriela, Gary Clark Jr., Colin Hay, Mary Chapin Carpenter, and many more. In 2014 she collaborated with the rising Boston quartet Darlingside on the Woodstock ep, a tribute to the Joni Mitchell-written / Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young-covered 60’s anthem. The cover was featured on the New York Times and garnered attention from Graham Nash himself, who called the performance, “delicious, really excellent.”
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.
According to her mother, her singing career began in the aisles of a northern new jersey grocery store, where she developed a reputation for serenading shoppers. The writing would come much later, after spending the first few years of her early 20’s in a state of self-proclaimed “musical a.d.d.”. After training her voice in classical operatic, improvisational jazz and classical Indian vocal techniques, Maloney was suddenly and overwhelmingly compelled to drop all things musical. To quit making sounds or noise, altogether.
She found herself living at a silent meditation retreat center in central Massachusetts, where she would practice for almost 3 years, studying and Vipassana Meditation, pouring over rumi and rilke, and keeping a journal documenting daily life at her cottage in the woods. It was in this place of quiet that, ironically, she began writing her first songs. Songs largely inspired by her experiences in meditation, including equal parts of the dark / uncomfortable / twisted parts of the human mind, as well as the sparkling and brief moments of that longed-for, ever elusive thing called insight. Maloney said that if she hadn’t started writing songs at the meditation center, she would be “completely covered in tattoos, because each song is about something i really, really want to remember badly … so i wouldn’t have to go through it again.”
And with the same sudden and overwhelming resolve that led her to the meditation center in the first place, she re-emerged into the music space with a guitar and a few songs that meant something to her. In the years since Maloney has left her life of silence and reflection, she has toured almost constantly, written hundreds of songs, and slept on close to one thousand different pillows.

BELLE SKINNER
Belle-Skinner aka Maria Brosgol is a singer-songwriter, guitarist, and producer from New York. With a hauntingly beautiful, lilting soprano and innate sense of melody she crafts tales of songbirds, sirens and desert nomads - nuanced and layered stories which bridge the gap between past and present. Though her influences cover a broad range of genres - from French chansons and Russian folk to contemporary alt-pop and rock - her voice often draws comparisons to the likes of Joni Mitchell, Jeff Buckley, and Angel Olsen.
