Robbie Fulks:

“It’s time to make a change,” Robbie Fulks declares at the start of Now Then, his second album on Nashville’s Compass Records. This GRAMMY-nominated singer-songwriter emerged in the 1990s as a pioneer of the Americana movement and has released 16 albums. Now Then's 12 songs range from folk to power pop, jazz to old-time country; Fulks says, "It’s from an older person’s outlook, and mostly true. The tone is about 70 percent reflective, 20 percent amused, and 10 percent angry."

Fulks has been recognized for instrumental virtuosity and songwriting. Artists such as Sam Bush, Andrew Bird, John Cowan, the Old 97's, and Hiss Golden Messenger have covered his songs. He has released albums reinterpreting Michael Jackson and Bob Dylan, two collections of unreleased songs and rarities totaling 103 tracks, and has collaborated with The Mekons and others. He also performs with comic improvisers and has shared stages with performers including Michael McKean, Tina Fey, Bob Odenkirk, and Fred Armisen.

Heather Maloney:

Massachusetts-based "writer song-singer" Heather Maloney found music during three years at a meditation center. Her songwriting is centered on quiet reflection and storytelling influences like Joni and the anonymous authors of Zen parables. She has played over 1,000 international shows and released eight studio albums.

Maloney's ninth record, "Exploding Star," is due January 31, 2025. Written after her father's death, Exploding Star is a 12-song collection she initially did not plan to record. She tracked for two days in her abandoned childhood home and played her father's guitar throughout the record; the result is described as celebratory and heartbreaking.

Her songs have aired on NPR and programs like eTown and AudioTree. "Nightstand Drawer" was featured in the season finale of CBS's Elementary, and her songs have been streamed on editorial Spotify playlists and Starbucks in-store playlists. She is also an illustrator and linocut artist and has toured as a headliner and in support of acts including Lake Street Dive, Shakey Graves, Gary Clark Jr., Rodrigo y Gabriela, Colin Hay, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Shawn Colvin, and Dar Williams.
