She first gained renown as a vocalist in the R&B duo Zhané, while he spent a decade with the Yellowjackets. They joined forces in the Baylor Project, a group that boasts a stellar cast of side players, including pianist Keith Brown."
"Heather Maloney released her ninth album, Exploding Star, just over a year ago, and has said that despite its sad inspiration-the death of her father-she's experienced joy and healing in the process of writing, recording and performing it. The folk artist is known for the depth of emotion her songs and singing reveal. Her 2014 album, Woodstock, was praised by another musician known for capturing deep feelings, Graham Nash."
