About this event

Maia Sharp has had her songs recorded by Bonnie Raitt, The Chicks, Cher, Edwin McCain, David Wilcox, Art Garfunkel, Lizz Wright, Lisa Loeb, Terri Clark, Keb’ Mo’ (including his recent single with Taj Mahal) and Trisha Yearwood (including her recent single “The Wall or the Way Over”) and many more. Through it all, Maia has continued to record her own albums; nine solo releases, one collaborative project with Art Garfunkel and Buddy Mondlock and her duo project, Roscoe & Etta. Maia is also an adjunct professor at NYU and has been writing for Songwriting With: Soldiers since 2017.

Her latest album, Tomboy, available in all the ways September 12, is the sound of shifting perspective. It’s an ultra authentic Americana-adjacent record steeped in quiet gratitude, internal celebration, and a complete embrace of true self. Like all of Sharp’s solo work, Tomboy resonates profoundly by being so real, so personal, and so eloquently written.

"Maia Sharp is one of America's great singer-songwriters. Her storytelling runs profound and deep while honoring a pop tradition that urges you to sing along and feel good. Maia sings with an angelic voice that's shrouded in stark realism and a healthy dose of cynicism.....it's an exotic cocktail!" – DON WAS "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 “Ultimately, Reckless Thoughts comes across as a calming, contemplative, and confessional set of songs that reaffirm the fact that Sharp is truly a treasure in terms of her ability to craft compelling songs that bear an affirmative attitude, one that takes stock in both kindness and compassion and uses them to the best advantage.

In the end, that’s truly something to savor.” – AMERICAN SONGWRITER “Backburner” is one clever lyric, but the beauty of the song is that it isn’t cloying or cutesy. The arrangement, which features Sharp’s guitars and synths along with other musicians, is steady and unswerving, like on the cruise-control mode in your car. From Sharp’s contemplative delivery to the tautness of the arrangement, “Backburner” conveys regret without ever sounding maudlin.

To extend its metaphor, it stays on simmer and never overheats.” – ROLLING STONE “One of the best singer-songwriters of our time” – Pop Culture Classics
