Why have one thing when you can have both? Heather Mae asks that question with her upcoming dual-album project. Mae is a fierce social justice singer-songwriter whose powerful voice draws parallels to Adele and Sara Bareilles. Mae doesn’t take guff from anyone — her latest project is a double album of Americana and rock songs — all created with the help of a collective of women and non-binary talents in Nashville, including luminaries like producer ZDAN and Lollies, along with guest artists like Grammy award-winning musician Allison Russell and the extraordinary duo Sistastrings.
