Albums
Portrait of a Disappointment (2021) is available on Bandcamp!
Halloran's second installment in her Pandemic Sessions series deals with some of the more difficult parts of battling mental health issues, delving into what it means to overthink everything and love someone with borderline personality disorder. Combined with a look at a breakup from ten years prior and a cautionary tale about a raccoon who eats too much, "Portrait of a Disappointment" is the perfect blend of her trademark quirky psychoanalytical style.

So much gratitude to all the lovely people who helped make this happen! Thank you to Don, Mike, Jonathan, and the rest of the faculty at VCFA who taught me (almost!) everything I know. Thank you to my wonderful husband Steven, whose unending support and love kept me going, even when I was convinced I would never finish those !@#%ing demos on time, and who has been my biggest fan ever since the moment we met. <3 E> Thank you to my composer-in-crime Garrett, without whom I would not understand the True Power Of Friendship or why 5am is the best time to write lyrics. Thank you to my fellow VCFA students whom I adore, and will always remember fondly whenever I eat Cabot cheddar after a concert. Thank you to Rachel and Nicole, whose artistic abilities made me look good and my album look even better. Thank you to all the friends I’ve made along the way at HHS, LAUMC, UCD, SJSU, and WCC: you all have helped me be a better musician, and a better person. Thank you to Caroline, Lucia, Eliza, and Jay; I love you guys :D Thank you to my first and best supporter, grama Ruth (I miss you!), my sister Julia, and the rest of my wonderful family... and most importantly of all: thank you from the bottom of my heart to Sylvia and Mike, a.k.a. Mom and Dad, for sticking me on a piano bench as an infant and teaching me the unquestionable knowledge that music would be a part of me forever. I love you all. Vielen, vielen Dank! ~MH
Before she was "Ready For Anything", Marjorie was a nerdy college kid with access to a mic and GarageBand. "Less Than Three" is a collection of early demos dealing with the struggles of high school and college life, heartbreak, first love, and growing up.
