Best known for her world-wide 1974 hit “Midnight at the Oasis” that earned her several Grammy nominations, singer Maria Muldaur has ventured for the past thirty-nine years through the various forms of American Root Music. Her thirty-nine solo albums cover the ranges of gospel, R&B, jazz and big band, and blues. A matriarch of music, Maria began her career in the early 1960’s as a member of the Even Dozen Jug Band, was associated with the Greenwich Village scene (famously known for Bob Dylan), and later opened for the Grateful Dead. Throughout her musical odyssey, two factors have remained constant in her career, the blues and the sounds of New Orleans. In recent years she has developed her own style she calls “Bluesiana Music” which combines New Orleans-flavored blues, R&B, and “swamp funk.”
