Booking Inquiry

Maia Sharp has had her songs recorded by Bonnie Raitt, The Chicks, Trisha Yearwood, Keb’ Mo’, Cher, Edwin McCain, David Wilcox, Art Garfunkel, Lizz Wright, Paul Carrack, Lisa Loeb, Terri Clark, and many more. And through it all, Maia has continued to record her own albums including: nine solo releases, one collaborative project with Art Garfunkel and Buddy Mondlock, and her duo project- Roscoe & Etta (with writing/production partner Anna Schulze).  Each release has been embraced by press and radio and has led to extensive touring and appearances on Mountain Stage, Acoustic Cafe, World Cafe, NPR’s “All Things Considered,” CBS Early Morning, and the Today Show to name a few.  Maia performs solo (or with a band when it’s appropriate) incorporating some of the songs you may have heard from the artists mentioned above and tells the stories behind those songs. Her new album, “Reckless Thoughts” was released in August, 2023 and features the singles “Kind,” “Old Dreams,” and “She’ll Let Herself Out.”

“Reckless Thoughts” is Maia Sharp’s ninth solo album and just might be her finest to date. That’s saying a lot, because she stands as one of the best singer-songwriters of our time​.” – POP CULTURE CLASSICS

“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

“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!”
