Maria Muldaur

Maria Muldaur is best known world wide for her '74 mega-hit "Midnight at the Oasis," which received several Grammy nominations, and enshrined her forever in the hearts of Baby Boomers everywhere; but despite her considerable Pop Music success, her 39-year career could best be described as a long and adventurous odyssey through the various forms of American Roots Music.

In 2011, detouring from her ongoing exploration of vintage blues - for her latest release, STEADY LOVE, Maria returned to her much-beloved New Orleans (the place she calls her "musical and spiritual home") to record a contemporary electric blues album that reflects the kind of music she loves to perform live - what she calls "Bluesiana Music" - her own brand of New Orleans-flavored Blues, R& B and "swamp funk." STEADY LOVE reached the # 1 position on the Living Blues Radio Charts.
