Heather Maloney in Concert

The New Revival Coffeehouse will present renowned vocalist Heather Maloney at a live concert on Saturday, March 4 at 7:30 p.m.

The Massachusetts-based “writer song-singer” found music in the midst of three years at a meditation center, honing a sound moored in days of silent reflection and reverence for storytellers like Joni, Rilke, Ken Burns, and the anonymous authors of Zen parables. 

And while she eventually traded the quiet, structured life as a yogi for the kinetic life a touring musician, the core of her songwriting remains centered around the same curiosity about our inner world and the desire to articulate it through storytelling.

Heather has toured nationally as a headliner as well as in support of acts like Lake Street Dive, Shakey Graves, Gary Clark Jr., Colin Hay, Mary Chapin Carpenter, and many more. The New York Times called her music “utterly gorgeous, visceral” and SPIN Magazine described her as “stunning, breathy, and starkly memorable.”

After over 1,000 live shows and more than a decade of touring, Heather Maloney released her first live album, “No Shortcuts-Live at the Academy” in June. Recorded with a soaring string quartet, No Shortcuts is a recording of the interaction, presence and joy that only unfolds in real time, when real live music and real live people share a real live space together.

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. She considers the integration of music and art to be an inspiring new chapter as a creative person.
