About this Event
Maya spent seven formative years performing in bars, theaters, and on festival stages as a founding member of The Stray Birds, a hard-touring acoustic string band known for passionate live performances and stirring vocal harmonies. When the band parted ways in 2018, Maya began devotedly creating a powerful new body of work as a solo artist.
Maya’s music unabashedly blurs genre, weaving country, folk, rock, and pop elements through her vibrant storytelling and her extraordinarily dynamic singing. Whether she is playing with her electric band in a bar or sharing a song on acoustic guitar at a folk festival, there is an emotional immediacy and a striking magnetism in Maya’s music. She has been invited to support a variety of tours - she has warmed up stages for innovative singer-songwriters like John Craigie and Aoife O’Donovan, and bands like Mighty Poplar and The Wood Brothers. In addition to performing and recording, Maya is a sought-after co-writer and co-creator, and has been steadily and closely collaborating within her chosen musical community of Nashville, Tennessee for nearly a decade.
