Nationally acclaimed Heather Maloney to perform at the Medallion

GORHAM — Heather Maloney will be performing live on Friday, Aug. 17, at 7 p.m. at the Medallion Opera House in Gorham. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door and will be available at the Gorham Town Hall, White Mountain Cafe and online at medallionoperahouse.org.

Massachusetts writer and song-singer Heather Maloney celebrates the release of her 2018 EP, "Just Enough Sun." The six songs (five new originals and a cover of Dylan's "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall") were recorded as mostly single-take, live performances in a room where instruments bled into vocal mics and vocals into instruments. The result is a raw and deeply vulnerable collection of songs that follow Maloney's literate and often heartbreaking exploration of family history, childhood dreams and the adulthood realities that butt-up against them; loss, misogyny, unrequited love, poverty, and even the moral dilemma of sending monkeys into space for the sake of science. The daughter of a psychotherapist and a carpenter, Heather's songwriting is equal parts introspective and relatable.
