Heather's critically acclaimed debut album Cozy Razor's Edge, filled with "poetic and powerful" lyrics that "penetrate the core of humanity," continues to be celebrated in the press, on the radio and in independent film. Its title track was voted by WRSI The River listeners as one of the best songs of 2009, Worcester Magazine calls it "stunning folk-rock... tender moans tucked in tight with brisk musicianship.", and the Portsmouth Herald says "Sharp, poignant lyrics housed in clever acoustic compositions, accented by Maloney's melodious, 'operatic' tendencies', are really what separates her music from straight ahead, folky pop tunes. You have to hear it to fully understand."

Heather now tours up and down the East Coast, performing songs from Cozy alongside a relentless stream of new songwriting. Her live shows, whether solo, duo, trio or full band, combine the coffee shop intimacy of folk with the passionate emotional narrative of opera. They reach audiences in legendary venues like the Iron Horse (MA), The Living Room (NYC), Club Passim (MA), One Longfellow (ME), Puck Live (PA), and The Purple Fiddle (WV). She is also booked in living rooms across the east coast as the house-concert scene grows in popularity.

Along the way, Heather has been co-writing with Grammy-nominated guitarist/composer Hui Cox. She has also shared the stage with celebrated acts like Guy Davis, The David Wax Museum, Caravan of Thieves, Carsie Blanton, Mike and Ruthy, Jill Sobule, Meg Hutchinson and The Stone Coyotes.
