Christmas Anyway by Heather Maloney
Maloney brings her “utterly gorgeous, visceral” (New York Times) voice to these songs which features two originals and four covers including the classic "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" and the Dar Williams fan-favorite "The Christians and The Pagans." Maloney writes, "This is a bittersweet holiday album through and through. I love happy holiday music just as much as somber holiday music, but this year I wanted to hear holiday songs that contain and even celebrate both emotions. My producer, Ryan Hommel and I decided to make what we wanted to hear in our first-ever remotely recorded album." Christmas Anyway features an all-star cast of players including Griffin Goldsmith from Dawes, Liz Longley, and Jaron Olevsky from Amos Lee's band.

Heather Maloney's new album, Exploding Star was never intended to be released. Written after the death of her father, the songs were the most vulnerable body of work ever created by Maloney. The idea of releasing and then promoting an album went against her instincts to keep this art near and dear. Luckily, her family convinced her otherwise and these transcendent songs are now ours as well.
