O’Hanlon Center is thrilled to welcome local music legend Maria Muldaur for an intimate acoustic concert in our gallery. She’ll be joined by brilliant young piano “hotshot” Neil Fontano for an afternoon of unforgettable music.

The concert celebrates the release of Maria’s critically acclaimed 44th album, One Hour Mama: The Blues of Victoria Spivey, now topping the Blues Charts. In addition, Maria and Neil will treat us to a rollicking repertoire of Naughty Bawdy Blues and Swingin’ Syncopated Jazz from the 1920s and ’30s.

In Maria’s words:

“Neil has mastered stride piano & other piano styles of that era with amazing skill, flair & creativity, swings his ass off, & it’s an absolute joy to perform this music with him. This will be a rare & special musical event you won’t want to miss!”

Seating is limited — reserve your tickets early!

About Maria Muldaur:

Maria Muldaur is best known world-wide for her 1973 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 60-year career could best be described as a long and adventurous 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 and Appalachian “Old Timey” Music, beginning her recording career in 1963 with the Even Dozen Jug Band, and shortly thereafter joining the very popular Jim Kweskin Jug Band, touring and recording with them throughout the ’60s.

In the 50 years since “Midnight at the Oasis” Maria has toured extensively worldwide and has recorded 44 solo albums covering all kinds of American Roots Music, including Blues, Gospel, R&B, Jug Band, Jazz and Big Band (not to mention several award-winning children’s albums). She has now settled comfortably into her favorite idiom, the Blues. Often joining forces with some of the top names in the business, Maria has recorded and produced on-average an album per year, several of which have been nominated for Grammys and other awards.
