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 46 year career could best be described as a long and rambling odyssey through the various forms of American Roots Music. During the folk revival of the early '60s, she began exploring and singing early Blues, Bluegrass, Appalachian "Old Timey" music, beginning her recording career in '63 with the Even Dozen Jug Band and shortly thereafter, joining the very popular Jim Kweskin Jug Band and touring, & recording with them throughout the '60s.

 In the 36 years since “Midnight At The Oasis”, Maria has toured extensively worldwide, and has recorded 38 solo albums covering all kinds of American Roots music, from Jazz, to Big Band, to Gospel, to Children’s Music, settling comfortably into her favorite idiom, the Blues, in recent years. Often joining forces with some of the top names in the business, Maria has recently recorded and produced an album per year, several of which have been nominated for Grammies and other awards.

 Her critically acclaimed 2001 release “Richland Woman Blues” was nominated for a Grammy and named Best Traditional Blues Album of the Year. Her timely 2008 release, “Yes We Can!” featured songs from some of the most socially conscious song writers of the past half century: Bob Dylan, Marvin Gaye, Allen Toussaint, Garth Brooks and others, and her “Women’s Voices for Peace Choir”, included: Bonnie Raitt, Joan, Baez, Jane Fonda, Odetta, Phoebe Snow, Holly Near and others.

 For her 2009 release, Maria revisited her original Jug Band roots, teaming up with John Sebastian, David Grisman, and Dan Hicks. “Maria Muldaur & Her Garden of Joy” was nominated for Best Traditional Blues Album of the Year in the Blues Foundation Awards, and has just garnered Maria her 6^th Grammy nomination as well! Maria continues to enjoy creative collaborations with some of the finest artists in her field and continues to tour regularly worldwide. She is available for festivals, concerts, workshop & residencies.

“Dan Hicks is still delivering the goods, wrapped in his own unique saddle blanket of gypsy jazz woven with western swing with threads of blues, bacon grease, and bebop tying it all together. Listening to Tangled Tales is like watching an R. Crumb cartoon character walk a tight rope. There’s a quirky gonzo humor on the surface, but the music behind it is fiercely tight with no room for error. Listen to the syncopated stops and starts or the rhythm change-ups; take in the multi- layered harmonies or the too-cool instrumental breaks; take a deep breath and try to follow those crazily-comped chords or high-speed scats – there’s nothing simple about this stuff, folks.- Jambase.com
