From 2006 to 2009, Maloney lived and worked at a silent meditation retreat center in Massachusetts, taking vows of silence for days at a time. According to Maloney, the silence helped her discover her songwriting talent; she wrote her first songs at the retreat.

In December 2013, a New York Times blog wrote about and shared a video of Maloney performing Woodstock with Darlingside; the writer favorably compared her to Mitchell. In 2014, Maloney released a collaborative EP with Boston quartet Darlingside entitled Woodstock, where she covers Joni Mitchell's song Woodstock.
