LIVE MUSICAL PERFORMANCES AT THE THOUSAND OAKS LIBRARY

Heather Maloney and Darlingside independently began their musical careers in late 2009 in Northampton, MA, crossing paths through overlapping posters pinned up on cork boards across town and occasional side-by-side blurbs in local music rags. Buoyed by the same robust arts scene of the Pioneer Valley, both artists grew from regional headliners to nationally touring acts in a few short years. In 2013, Maloney and Darlingside teamed up for a tour out to the Midwest, and it did not take long for them to realize that they had stumbled upon a powerful combination. A feature in the New York Times of their cover of Joni Mitchell’s “Woodstock” soon followed, and fans of both artists are now celebrating their joint EP, just released by Signature Sounds on March 11th.

“ ‘Woodstock’ is delicious, really excellent. I’m certain that Joni would enjoy this wonderfully heartfelt version of her classic song.”
