Press Release
KUCHING, February 23, 2011 – Multiple Grammy nominee Maria Muldaur is perhaps best known for her seductive top-ten single “Midnight at the Oasis”.
Maria Muldaur is often referred to as America’s First Lady of Roots Music. From her teen years as part of the folk revival of the sixties, to her recent ‘bluesiana’ efforts, Maria has released more than 35 records which have been embraced by fans and critics alike, garnering many awards and accolades including a Grammy nomination in the Traditional Blues category for her 2005 release “Sweet Lovin’ Ol’ Soul”, a “Best Adult Alternative Album of the Year” award by the National Association of Independent Record Distributors for 1992’s “Louisiana Love Call”, and many more.
Maria Muldaur was the third woman ever to be on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. Her singing is a gift she still takes on the road most of the year. She has mastered many musical genres: blues, early jazz, gospel, folk, country, and R&B. In concert she can shift from one incarnation to another as smoothly as the transmission on a Rolls Royce.
Maria Muldaur has spent more than forty years interpreting just about every kind of American roots music, from blues, jazz and R&B to folk, country and gospel.
Born in New York City, her first love was country & western music and she sang C&W with her aunt from an early age. During her teenage years she moved on to R&B, rock & roll, then “girl group” pop. In high school she formed a girl group called the Cashmeres. Growing up in the Greenwich Village area, she became fascinated with its booming early ’60s folk revival and soon began participating in jam sessions. Most of the women living in the artist milieu of the time were girlfriends and wives of performers but Maria was considered an equal. She was the musical peer of many of the perennial musical icons of the day; a group that included such friends as Bob Dylan.
Throughout her career Maria has toured tirelessly nationally and internationally, developing a loyal following of fans of all ages that come out to see this versatile roots music stylist romance an audience as only Maria Muldaur can. In 2010, Muldaur was nominated again for the Grammies.
