It’s been a minute since we’ve heard from Danny Malone. Following a bit of a hibernation period, the Austin-based singer-songwriter (and former Sonic Guild grant recipient) had a prolific songwriting year in 2025, penning over 60 songs. As he puts it, his inspiration was “a long battle between my ego and my spirit, and the spirit finally started to win again.” “Leaves” is a rumination taking us back to Malone’s teenage years, reflecting on the now rose-tinted messiness and “what could have been” of those first loves whose memories still creep in from the rafters regardless of how much time has passed.
Danny Malone celebrates this new crop of songs with a three-night run at Hyde Park Theater with Charlie Roadman starting this Sunday, May 17th.
