Heather Lynne Horton

Heather Lynne Horton came out of retirement after starting a family and hit a home run with the soulful, ponderous — and rocking — album, Don’t Mess with Mrs. Murphy. It’s not accurate to say she completely retired, as many in Madison will remember Horton nearly stealing the show at Marquette Waterfront Festival a few years back as a member of the band backing Michael McDermott, her husband. Mrs. Murphy received a rare 10-out-of-10 from Americana UK as well as Critics Choice Album of the Year.

$20 ($15 adv.).

media release: Heather Lynne Horton's new album, Get Me To a Nunnery, was released Sept. 23, 2023.
