Honestly, I am so excited about this concert that it’s hard for me to contain myself! I’m coming off a very intense 12 months of all-consuming work, and with my energy returning, I feel like I’m running in giddy circles waiting for Maia to show up at the Bootleg.
You may not know Maia Sharp, but trust me, you should, and after this show, her 3rd stop on her Tomboy Release Tour, you will be a fan. She is touring solo, but with her stage craft, storytelling and musicality she totally owns and fills the stage.
Maia, born in the Central Valley, moved w/ her Grammy-winning Country Singer-Songwriter Father Randy Sharp, (Check out Songs of the San Joaquin that features them both), and Anthropology Professor Mom, to LA where at the age of five, she recorded her first song. Between her first album Hardly Glamour in 1997 and Tomboy her 10th album, she has collaborated with Art Garfunkel (who also asked her to produce), Carole King & Lisa Loeb. Her songs have been recorded by musicians including Trisha Yearwood, Kim Richey, The Chicks, Kathey Mattea, Cher (Yes, that Cher), and Bonnie Raitt who she has toured with as opening act and guitarist. An LA-based Artist until moving to Nashville in 2019, Maia has deep connections in both musical communities. That’s a lot of pedigree I just shoved into 1 paragraph, but you guys, it was so hard to narrow it down! I had to leave so much great stuff out!
It was while touring w/ Bonnie Raitt that Maia first broke away to play the Bootleg in November 2021. Her second Bootleg concert in March 2023 coincided with her volunteer work with “Songwriting with Soldiers”, which brings Soldiers/Vets together with professional Songwriters who are masters in the art of collaboration. Together, they create music that shares a soldiers experience and feelings, and often through the process, brings healing. I.E. On top of being exceptionally talented, she’s a damn good person.
In case you need to hear others sing Maia’s praises. . .
"Maia's CD (Hardly Glamour) is absolutely wonderful. I'm so glad I got to write with her. Maia is an old soul and a new friend."
– Carole King
"In the tradition of great female artists, Karla Bonoff, Bonnie Raitt, Christine McVie, Shawn Colvin, Sarah McLachlan....now enter Maia Sharp."
– Art Garfunkel
"There is a string attached to Maia Sharp's voice. And when she sings, you find that the other end is attached to your gut. Her voice is lush and sensual and the emotions she articulates
resonate with the small feelings we have that sometimes are hard to face…there is an edge to her songs, but also a softness...she is lyrical and conversational at the same time. Her CD was the only one in my machine for a month. Her work inspires me to dig deeper."
– Kathy Mattea
"Maia Sharp's new album "Tomboy" is a catchy collection of songs that hit close to the bone, from one of the best songwriters around." - AMERICANAMUSIC.COM
