Maia Sharp w/ Haleigh Bowers

Maia Sharp has had her songs recorded by Bonnie Raitt, The Chicks, Cher, Edwin McCain, David Wilcox, Art Garfunkel, Lizz Wright, Lisa Loeb, Terri Clark, Keb’ Mo’ (including “Junkyard Dog,” his latest single with Taj Mahal) and Trisha Yearwood (including her latest single “The Wall or the Way Over”) and many more. And through it all, Maia has continued to record her own albums; nine solo releases, one collaborative project with Art Garfunkel and Buddy Mondlock and her duo project, Roscoe & Etta (with Los Angeles producer/artist Anna Schulze). Maia is also an adjunct professor at NYU and has been writing for Songwriting With: Soldiers for eight years where she sits down with veterans to hear a slice of their story and turn it into a song. Her upcoming album, Tomboy is coming out September 12 and she’ll be back in her hometown for this release day show at Hotel Café.

“Maia Sharp is one of America’s great singer-songwriters. Her storytelling runs profound and deep while honoring a pop tradition that urges you to sing along and feel good. Maia sings with an angelic voice that’s shrouded in stark realism and a healthy dose of cynicism…..it’s an exotic cocktail!” – DON WAS
